Paging Feedback

[greatchoice]

I am using GXP 1780 phones and a few Yealink T46S.

I started a paging group with dial code *6 and the group is 701.

I have about 10 members in the group. When I call the page, there is a slight delay before all phones pick up but there is lots of feedback and it seems that originator is also picking up. That may be the issue. If i place the pager on mute there is no feedback.

Paging or Paging Multicast?

 

[greatchoice]

Paging. Is multicast better or the solution?

 

[greatchoice]

I should add that the phones are behind a SBC and the server is cloud hosted

Ok the plain Paging is a perfectly fine method to use behind SBC.

The short delay is also fine for those phone models

The feedback is happening if the phone making the page is within earshot for the devices being paged. Muting its mic should immediately stop the feedback (if you wish to test and confirm)

Yes you are correct. I have muted it and it does stop the feedback. But it also seems the originator is also getting the page. That is i think the issue. Why would the originator get the page as well?

The phones being in close proximity is already enough to cause the feedback, so what made you think that the originator may be also getting the paging?
