Got a call from a business that the owner installed the system himself, & would like a paging system to page from any phone. I'm wondering if there might be some kind of an adapter with an ip address that would interface with an ip phone system. I have heard of these cisco system, but never saw one before. Please enlighten me!!! \pfonman Tom [email protected]

My understanding is the Cisco systems require an additional "server" to do overhead paging ...... but it has been a while. The schools my kids attend went Cisco .... and still have their old phones on every desk so they can still page John Corrigan New Phone Systems and Service

Requires some programming on the router and integrates straight into overhead speakers. You can also purchas the 3rd party software which gives you more features such as page zones, etc. if you wish.
