VMSC - VMD - PBX Configuration - Intercom Paging Tab (Set Emulation)

Use the PBX Configuration dialog box, Intercom Paging tab to configure PBX intercom paging properties for a voice mail domain. Using intercom paging, callers can page subscribers in the building, if they do not answer their extensions.


Notes: For Modular Messaging to do trunk-level paging, you must have additional hardware between the Modular Messaging system, the PBX, and the paging system. For more information, contact your Modular Messaging service or technical support representative. After you make changes to Intercom Paging properties, you must stop and restart the MM Messaging Application Server service. If you do not do so, the changes do not take effect. See MAS - Stopping and Restarting Modular Messaging Services.
