Paging to IP phones 1

I wonder if one of you can assist with the following scenario:

Site 1 has IPO 412 with VCM30 and alot of internal extensions none of which use VoIP.

Site 2 has 50 IP handsets on the network looking at site 1 over a fibre link.

Assume all people in site 2 are not on the phone and that QoS is there.

If site 1 makes a page call to a group containing all 50 IP phones will only 30 actually be paged because of the VCM limitation.

Please note I have not quoted software levels as this set-up would not be put in place for a couple of months and who knows what software level we will be on.

Thanks in advance
 
I don't know if anyone will be able to answer this one yet, as paging to IP Phones isn't supported until the next software release.
 
If I were a betting man, I would put money on only 30 phones receiving the page...

Of course if you want to see Avaya get all flustered and refusing to support you you could always tap into the speaker on an IP hardphone and feed it into the audio input on a bogen amp.... *grin*

The 2.1 docs say as long as all your phones are the same codec then when you page it uses only one VCM channel

Have not tested this.

Thanks for your help so far. Like me I suspect until we get our hands on a new software level and test it we may not know.

Crashtest - Do you mean that because it is a broadcast then the page to all handsets should take only one vcm channel ?

 
Yes , provided they are all using the same Codec ( I cnat see any reson why this should not be the case)
