Solved Paging relay device recommendations

[c.holloway]

Good afternoon!

I am running into some paging issues for a client who have remote phones that connect over a VPN back to 3CX. Multicast from 3CX isn't going to work over the tunnel and I can't use a standard paging group as they are wanting to have 70+ phones receive the pages. They are using Yealink T42S phones. Previously, you could set up a multicast paging button on the phone itself so it never went through 3CX but this option is gone in more recent firmwares.

I'm hoping someone has a recommendation for a device I can use that will take a unicast page and convert it to multicast on the local network so I can get pages to all of the phones. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? Can you recommend any particular devices that would work well to accomplish this?

Well I feel silly. We have a Snom PA1 at that site and it appears this unit will do what we require. I will post again once i've confirmed functionality

That should do the trick. Otherwise the Cyberdata Paging adapters work well for this.

The Snom is doing the trick nicely, we can go ahead and close this thread.
