Merlin Plus style Paging on Legend?

[jlshelton]

In upgrading from Merlin Plus to Merlin Legend, we realize we have lost the convenient ability to do a Group Speakerphone Page and have someone pickup any phone to start a conversation. (In Legend, group speakerphone page cannot be "answered.&quot

Any good ideas for a work-around? How can I press a button on one phone, announce to many/all phones, and let someone else answer me?

I can't think of a work-around, but I may be able to shead som logic on the situation.

Since the Legend/Magix can grow 10-times larger than the Merlin Classic equipment, the fear may be that if you do a page to that many phones, the odds of someone going off-hook in an attempt to make a call, will inadvertently grab your paging call.

In my mind, it should be a selectable feature (ON or OFF) so that the customer could decide. Some people buy the bigger system for the features, not the size. And now that CLASSIC isn't available anymore anyway, you're really forced into it.

Just a thought, have you looked at Partner ACS? Maybe that can do the Paging Answerback you require?
