ephone-dn. The audio paging feature operates in a similar fashion to intercom, but provides only
one-way voice, with no press-to-answer option. A DN is created, which associates the IP phone as part
of a paging group.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. ephone-dn dn-tag
2. number number
3. name name
4. paging [ip multicast-address port udp-port-number]
5. exit
6. ephone tag
7. paging-dn paging-dn number-tag {multicast | unicast}
8. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 to add phones to the paging group.
DETAILED STEPS
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router(config)# ephone-dn dn-tag
Enters ephone-dn configuration mode and configures the directory
numbers for the Cisco IP phone lines.
Step 2
Router(config-ephone-dn)# number number
Configures a valid directory number for the Cisco IP phone that
receives paging.
Step 3
Router(config-ephone-dn)# name name
Assigns the paging number a name for display.
Step 4
Router(config-ephone-dn)# paging [ip
multicast-address port udp-port-number]
Sets paging numbers that can be called in order to broadcast an
audio page to a group of Cisco IP phones. The paging command
configures the ephone-dn number to act as an extension number to
broadcast unicast audio paging to idle Cisco IP phones.
When the optional keyword ip followed by the multicast-address
argument and port is configured, the paging is set for multicast
paging. If an IP multicast address is not configured, IP phones are
paged individually using IP unicast transmission (to a maximum of
ten IP phones). The recommended operation is with an IP multicast
address. When multiple paging extensions are configured, each
extension uses a unique IP multicast address.
Step 5
Router(config-ephone-dn)# exit
Exits ephone-dn configuration mode and returns to global
configuration mode.
Step 6
Router(config)# ephone tag
Enters ephone configuration mode to register Cisco IP phones. This
adds IP phones to the paging group.
