I have had some pretty good results using the following mechanism (with
Asterisk@Home, but you'll get the idea):
This example allows one to page the phones 5301..5312 by dialling 5399 - seems
to work OK.
The SetVar(_ALERT_INFO=info=alert-autoanswer) line has to be tailored to the
specific hardphone type to force it off-hook and into speakerphone mode (after a
beep), as there doesn't seem to be a standard for this header.
As an aside, 'alert-autoanswer' works with Citel's ( www.citel.com)
handset gateways, allowing you to reuse any Nortel phones you happen to have
hanging around.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Paging HardPhones
I have been testing * with some Cisco 7912G's, in hope to trash our Nortel
system. One feature our Nortel system has that I will need to fiqure out on the
* system is paging.
Is it possible to page a group of phones (all phones) with announcements?
We are a k-12 school and we use our current phone system to make announcements
on the phones monitor speaker.
Any direction I can be pointed in would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
