Client has an IP Office system (no IP, all digital sets). Client wants to page his warehouse.

Is there a built-in paging port on this system? :confused:

Check out the telephony tab on an analog port. Hopefully you one.

Sorry, I don't follow.

There is no built-in paging port, such as a Partner would have. You interface paging through a trunk or station port, depending on what you might have available, and may need additional equipment such as a UPAM/TAM-B or matching transformers.

Or, a cheaper way to do it is using a WMT1-a on an analog port.Just puts a 600ohm load on the line...

THen read up on the docs as to which release you have and what the port should be set as. (paging speaker or IVR port usually)

Is there any way to plug a loud-ringer directly into a phone? Not sure what sets client has, as I haven't been on-site yet.

Client has one phone in a remote area and the people working in that area can't hear the phone ring or paging through the set speaker.

If the phone is an analog extension, there are external loud ringers that can be plugged in inline on the modular port of the phone.
Just google "analog loud ringer" and you will find them.

It's a digital extension, just not sure of the model #.

With a Nortel we have seen an ATA used for that but I don't know what Avaya adapters are available.
Suggestion: You could put an analog extension in that area with a load ringer and put the extension on the digital phone as an appearance. Have them dial the analog extension when they want to call the remote area and they can pick it up on the digital phone. Also a call pick up code may work.

Nortel has a built-in paging port and a ringing port. Unfortunately, this is an Avaya system I'm dealing with.
