A paging system lets you call staff or make announcements across a site from a microphone or a phone. Examples: calling a forklift driver to dispatch, a nurse to a ward, a cashier to a till, or announcing closing time. IP/SIP paging lets any desk phone page a zone without a separate microphone.
Key takeaways
- Page one zone or the whole site.
- Page from a desk phone with SIP paging gateways.
- Horn speakers for noisy warehouses.
- Background music between announcements.
- Scheduled bells and messages.
