Is there any reason this phone would not receive an internal page? I can plug an 8312S into the jack and it receive pages OK. This is on a DXP (12A).

My guess would be: It's not a speaker phone.

Thats correct the 8212n will not work for that.

It should still receive the page shouldn't it? The speakerphone is separate from an intercom and a page on all the other comdial systems. Last I remember the dxp a non speakerphone of the digitech flavor would receive page and intercom, you could even respond to intercom hands free. You could not initiate a hands free call of any fashion. But I have not worked on a DXP in while so I could be wrong. Sounds to me like you might have a bad speaker? I never used impact telephones so I'm just guessing.

Other 8212N phones at the facilty also do not receive pages. Found a manual and states the phone will not receive voice announce calls....

well there you go. That would have confused me also, I never saw a digital comdial set that couldn't get an "all Call" or ITCM page. I wonder what the ring audible comes from if it has no speaker.

Here is the info out of the user guide for this unit:
