on the Station and Trunk Group screens. This allows you to use different loss
plans for different types of phones or different trunk groups.
The Tone and Conference Loss Plans page of the System Parameters
Country-Options screen allows you to set the gain or loss levels (in dB) between
all parties on a conference call, as well as the total gain or loss in a conference
based on the number of parties.
Loudspeaker paging
You can connect DEFINITY ECS to loudspeaker systems and allow users to page
from their phones. You can administer up to 9 separate zones (sets of
loudspeakers) on DEFINITY ECS, so an announcement can be made to one group
or location without disturbing people who don’t need to hear the announcement.
Auxiliary trunks connect the speakers in each zone to ports on an auxiliary trunk
circuit pack.
Brief description
DEFINITY ECS offers 2 types of loudspeaker paging. You can use each
separately, and you can also use both together.
How users place voice pages
With standard voice paging, users page by dialing the trunk access code assigned
to the zone they wish to page. If users have an active call, they must manually put
the call on hold or park it before they dial the trunk access code.
When deluxe paging is enabled, users can automatically park an active call when
they page, as described below.
Voice paging Voice paging allows users to make announcements over a
loudspeaker system from their phones. You can integrate voice
paging and Call Park by enabling deluxe paging.
Chime paging If frequent voice pages are undesirable, you can assign a
unique series of chimes (a chime code) to each extension. The
chime code assigned to that extension plays over the speakers
whenever that extension is paged.
Chime paging is sometimes called Code Calling Access.
