Paging lets you speak through the speaker of a group of Yealink phones at once, for example to announce a visitor in reception. It uses multicast on your local network, so it doesn't go through the PBX and doesn't use a call.

## How it works

- Phones that should **hear** pages listen on a multicast address and channel. Set this on every receiving phone.
- Phones that **send** pages have a **Paging** key for one group, or a **Paging List** key to choose from several groups.
- A group is a multicast address, port and channel. The sending phone and the listening phones must use the same three values.

**Note:** All the phones must be on the same network (subnet). For more complex networks, ask whoever manages your network for the multicast address and port to use.

## Before you start

- The IP address of each phone (press **OK** on the phone) and its web interface password. The default username and password are both `admin`.
- A multicast address and port for paging. On a simple network you can try `224.0.1.75:10008`.
- A channel number for each group, from 0 to 30. For example, channel 1 for everyone and channel 5 for Sales.

## 1. Set up the listening phones

**Note:** Menus can change between versions. If a label is different, check the vendor's own help.

On every phone that should hear pages:

1. Sign in to the phone's web interface and go to **Directory** › **Multicast IP**.
2. Under **Multicast Listening**, fill in a row for each group the phone should hear:
   - **Listening Address**: the multicast address and port, for example `224.0.1.75:10008`
   - **Label**: the group name, for example `All`
   - **Channel**: the group's channel
3. Click **Confirm**.

## 2. Add a paging key to a sending phone

For a key that pages one group:

1. Go to **Dsskey** › **Line Key** and choose a free key.
2. Set **Type** to **Paging**.
3. Enter the multicast address and port in **Value**, a **Label**, and the channel in **Extension**.
4. Click **Confirm**.

## 3. Or add a paging list (several groups)

A paging list suits a reception phone that pages different groups.

1. Go to **Dsskey** › **Line Key**, choose a free key, set **Type** to **Paging List**, enter a **Label** and click **Confirm**.
2. Go to **Directory** › **Multicast IP** and scroll to **Paging List**.
3. For each group, enter the **Paging Address** (address and port), a **Label** and the **Channel**.
4. Click **Confirm**.

## Make a page

1. Press the **Paging** key, or press the **Paging List** key and choose a group.
2. After the short tone, speak. Every phone listening to that group plays your voice.
3. Hang up, or press **End Call**, to finish.

## Check it works

Page a group and check that each listening phone plays it. If a phone stays silent, check that its listening address, port and channel exactly match the sending key.
