I am going to install a BOGEN for paging in a warehouse and office. The problem I have is that customer uses only Centrex lines no PBX system there. I am planning to use one of the Centrex lines with an auto answer telephone. Wiring speaker on that phone and connecting it to the PA should do the trick

I would like to have your feedback on this setup.
Will it work?
What kind of analog phone should I use?
Did I miss any thing?

Thanks

I believe Viking makes such a device. Bogen might also make one.

Good Luck!!

You might want to have Telus restrict incoming calls from outside the group for that line. We've had instances with a similar setup where people dial the number by accident and say "Hello?, hello?" etc.

There used to be paging systems you could connect a phone line to for this purpose. Haven't seen one in awhile, but I bet they still make um.

Valcom V-9940 is designed for this purpose. Power supply sold seperatly. Just did one the other day.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
