[Asterisk-Users] What does "Page" application do?
Paging is a quite common feature on modern PABX's and means that anyone can connect to any speakerphone to broadcast messages, in some cases even if the phone is in use. The typical usage would be the company secretary desperatly trying to get hold of someone and since that person don't answer the phone she makes a broadcast call to a department or to the entire company through the speaker-phones. I am not familiar with the Asterisk implementation! Jan Robert La Ferla wrote:> Why would you use this? Can someone please elaborate on the below > description?
