Hello,
I have a large number of phones that will be need to be included in paging. I'm curious what my best option is to accomplish this...
I have probably around 50 phones and they all need to receive pages along with a PA system extension. It seems that a page ring group will take too long for all the phones to answer. (I'm not sure if this is only because I do not have all the phones online at the moment because they are currently connected to our soon to be old VOIP solution or if that is how long it will take normally.) Currently I'm connecting the legacy paging system with a SPA adapter and that extension is included in the ring group.
The other option seems would be multicast paging and then manually configure each phone with the multicast IP (no biggie). However, I'm not sure if this would also cause delay or behave much more friendly. (I can't include the SPA in the multicast paging I don't believe)
Could someone tell me from their experience if multicast would be the way to go or if I'll see the same result?
I'm using a ring group on the old VOIP solution and it seems to work fine.
