Paging Across DCS

[ke4qfp]

Does anyone know how to set up paging across DCS? I think you might be able to UDP a FAC but I'm unsure how to do it or even if this is how you would do it. I have 2 buildings connected with DCS and they would like to be able to page into each others building. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

If you have a tie trunk you can call a FAC. It's as simple as using the TAC plus the FAC. However the best solution is to take a vdn in the switch with the paging and have it dial the FAC. So you can tweak issues like adding pauses using wait time.

For example

Switch 1 w/Paging

VDN x2303 (x2300 - x2399 is in the UDP table)
Vector 3
wait time 2 sec
route to *2

Assuming *2 is the paging number.

Or you can use an analog station with a hotline destination. (It has to be an extension in the UDP dialplan.)
