SIP Speakers for paging 6

[dereklindo]

Hi all,

I have a school that is using the page all feature to make emergency announcements through the phone speakers though out the school. They would like this page all feature to extend to the Auditorium and to two locations outside. Has anybody integrated SIP speakers to the IP Office? What brand/model did you use? Outdoor rated SIP speakers?

Thanks

Derek

you would have to put them both into a collective group and page the group instead of the individual extensions.

Never done it but you would have to set the setting in extension - voip to "Answer After" as Gregl45 mentioned to make it work

As Westi said create a collective group make the SIP device part of that group. Create a dial paging short code for that group. Set the SIP device to "Answer After". Dial the short code and it will page through the SIP device.

bass and lots of bass

Exactly the WRONG thing for a page/Tanoy Lower frequencies do not Tarvel as far as High frequencies & are quickly distorted & muffled.

for a clear page over reasonable distances you should have an announcer with a clear voice, ideally in the contralto range & without a heavy accent.

British DIY stores & London Underground stations usually provide an excellent example of why this is a good idea by demonstrating what happens when you dont :-(

You're right, maybe not too much bass. I think an equal amount of treble and bass, so at least the voice is reproduced in a HD sounding voice, not tinny like in an old iron speaker or paging horn. Get my point?

So tell me, was reading about a new Tesco Extra hypermarket. Do these stores have Avaya? Do they use overhead paging from the phones at all? Again, Wal Mart, Meijer, and Real Canadian Superstore all use wireless phones and IP phones and some overhead paging. I take it they don't use the overhead paging feature in the UK retail stores? And if they do, it's a single Microphone at the front counter? I am curious.....

If I didn't go the IP speaker route, is using the analog extension with a Viking or Valcom unit preferred over using a CO port? If I want the message to be heard over the Avaya phone speakers and the external speakers, I have to use the analog extension option in order to put them in the same paging group?

If you want external loudspeaker paging simultaneous with internal phone paging, you must use the Analog station port programmed as a page port. Just add it to the group and do a dial page to the group
