Question - Ringing Multiple Phones

[terrysdavid]

Hi all,
I have a quick question regarding a feature on the CS1000E Rls 7.5. We have a location that has a CS1000E Rls 7.5. There are potential hazards at the location based on the nature of their operations. In the event that they have to evacuate 100 employees or so, is there a way in which their IP phones can all ring at the same time and someone can give a short message to evacuate? Or is this not possible?

Best regards
Terry

Not possible that I know of. Your best bet is an overhead paging system.

Thanks. I figured as much.

They used to make an Application Server that would allow paging through the speakers of the IP phones, but that has been discontinued because it was a POS. There may be a 3rd party system out there that will do it but most of those 3rd party Applications are SIP based, not Unistim.

We are installing the Avaya option. PROGRESSION SERVER:VOICE PAGING WITH PRE-RECORDED AND ADHOC LICENSES (this solution is pricey). Another option is to check out valcom, they have several solutions that many work for you. Check out

We use the Valcoms for in phone paging. Works great. You would need 3 of them to cover 100+ phones but its a simple configuration.

Thanks guys. I'll have a look at Valcom.

I think the Valcom solution uses Session Manager

The progression solution works with UNIStim phones.
