Multicast paging is great. However, through 3CX it has the following drawbacks:
I know that's a lot, so the questions are:
- A "ring group" extension set up as multicast paging sends that multicast page from the 3CX server itself. So an off-campus, VPN-connected site is going to bounce all multicasting through the VPN.
- You can accidently transfer to a Ring Group extension, even if set up as multicast paging. So that disgruntled caller is now talking over every phone on the multicast group.
- You can't prevent an incoming call from dialing a Ring Group - even if it's multicast or paging.
I know that's a lot, so the questions are:
- Am I wrong about any of the above three drawbacks and there is a way?
- Is there a way through 3CX under the BLF tab in an extension to provision a DSS for multicast?
