I have two Nortel systems that are tied together with T-1 and can call from system to system, but would like to be able to page to one system or the other. Is there any possble wway this can be done?
 
They are sitting side by side. Can you wire it through a paging amp from the external page output back into the oppisite phone systems ( page) pair on the block?
 
Not through the phones

Yes, you will need to use a trunk port at each end and power supply 24dc, put in a seperate acces code for that trunk at each end or Algo solutions products for norstar.
 
Yes ironhorse is right I have done this before but it has been some time, I have even programmed routing codes so the customer only dials a code at system a and gets a paging port in the opposite system and it seems transparent.

or set up an analog trunk to answer wth disa. set up remote access. dial *62. you can put thi on external speed dial. all the user has to do enter *62 when it connects

WORK SMART NOT HARD
 
You can page through the phones on the side by side system if you follow what stsguy says above. You'll have to use DISA, program a button to dial the DISA answering number and then program a button with the remote access password then Feature 78 for a pause then enter *610 to page the phones only, *630 to page overhead and the phones or simply *62 to just page the overhead speakers.

I tried this out in my Test lab for you....

First set up a DISA trunk say on an unused analog CO or PRI line, you can't use SIP lines. DISA seems to work best with analog lines.

Second, Program an Autodial button with the Remote access password, Feature 78 and then *630 to page the system.
example say 311 is the password:
-Press Feature *1 to program the autodial button
-When the phone says enter digits, enter: 311F78*630

Test the function by dialing the Trunk line, wait for DISA to pick up after the second ring (you'll hear a stuttered dial tone) and THEN press the autodial button, you'll hear a dial tone again and then silence....when you hear the silence you can speak. Press RLS or hang up to end the page.

In order to convey to the user:

Set up an Autodial button on their phone that dials the DISA trunk and label it DIAL PAGE

Then set up a second autodial button on it that automatically enter the COS password and *630. Maybe label it SAY PAGE.

Make sure the user knows to wait for the phone to stop ringing and then hear dial tone.

You are ready to make and receive pages.

Note though, on the page receiving system, you aren't going to get a nice clean silent release noise if you are using analog trunks to do this, you are more than likely going to get a POP or Click when the page is completed.

Also note, I tried saving the whole sequence in one button and it didn't work....too many digits doing too many things seems to confuse the system, so thats why I split this up into 2 buttons.


 
Use DISA DN. Setup a standard DID (using routing from System A) to System B, but leave a DID available. Program this into the DISA DN. When called you'll be prompted with stuttered dial tone. Using COS password, you can setup the ability to access paging from the other system.

With this, you don't need to setup a trunk with Answer with DISA amd seperate it from everything else.
