Ringing the external pager 1

[Schmalzs]

I'm trying to set up the overhead pager to ring for calls to a specific ICD. Calling Ext. 600 from an external extension has the desired effect, resulting in a ring playing over the PA. However adding Ext 600 to the ICD's member list doesn't seem to have any effect on incoming calls. I also tried setting an intercept and forward to x600 for a member of the ICD. Calling that extension rings the PA internally but not for calls to the ICD. Anyone have any ideas? For reference, system is a NCP-500 with integrated ESVM card.

It has to be Ddi or dil the line to 600 can't be in group

Thanks obt, looks like you are right. Setting up a DID destination of 600 does the trick, but how would I make it ring both the phones and the pager at once?

Only way is to get a spare phone and use the speaker output to connect into a pager port and put that phone in the ring group
