Type of signal or interface for a paging system versus an analog phone

[dhazer]

Does any know the difference between the signal that the Pagepac loudspeaker system recieves versus an ordinary analog phone like at your home or apartment? (I don't condider avaya's 18d phone to be ordinary)

The pagepac does not operate on an extension meant for a phone (I suppose becuse it uses a phone line port),
and I cannot use an ordinary phone to hear the loudspeaker signal from the loudspeaker's line.

Is there a digital/analog standard or some description of information for how they differ? Avaya's manuals don't say much about it other than to use a different system other than PagePac, some type of interface will need to be used.

Thanks in advance,
Dan
