Create a Paging Trunk

FIXME

Grandstream UCM610X PBX

  1. Use an FXO port on the Grandstream UCM610X PBX
  2. Turn ON Talk Battery feature of paging amp
    • DIP switch 4 ON for Viking PA-2A
  3. Create a new Analog Trunk named Paging
  4. Create a new Outbound Route also named Paging
    • Set the Trunk to Paging
    • Set the Dial Pattern to 999
    • Strip the digits used to access the trunk or you will hear the dialed tones when paging

:!: Evidently, on the Grandstream PBX, you can not strip all the digits as the PBX won't let you enter 3 to strip out the tones for 999.
