loud speaker paging

[seedale]

Please help... One location has loudspeaker paging setup on 2 aux trunk ports , two tacs. During an emergency to page the entire plant we have to dial each tac and page zones separately. The plant manager wants to only have to dial one tac to page all. Our business partner is tell us this can't be done with current config. Any thoughts?

Assuming that you are on either a Definity or Communications Manager and you are using the Loudspeaker Paging feature, you should be abe to assign an 'All Zone' code that will actizate all paging. Do 'change paging loudspeaker' and assign the all zone code.

Have Communication manager and use loudspeaker paging. Failed to mention we have 3 sites on one dialplan. All Zone will page all 3 sites. Only want page to be hear at the one site that has two separate zones setup on it.

Also having problem with noise when paging at this site. Have changed aux trunk card twice, site has s85XX server, not sure if problem is with paging equipment. Any way to troubleshoot to determine source of noise?

I had the noise problem when the paging system was over 2500 feet away from the aux board. Someone advised puting a ringer capacitor on the line like you would see in a telco nid on the side of a house. It seemed to help.
