Is there a way to have the VVX model phone to forward all calls placed to it as a page?   What I am trying to accomplish is someone using the SfB client or VVX phone would call an extension residing on a VVX phone (paging phone).  When a call is placed to the paging phone that phone will forward that call to a paging group.  Algo 8180's will be part of that group and will relay that page to other 8180s.

 

I'm doing a POC for SfB online with Cloud PBX and PSTN calling exclusively without a hybrid deployment.  Paging is a requirement and not all uses will be given a phyical phone.

 

Thanks for any help provide.

 

Mike

Hello Mike,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

No, a Polycom Page is a completely different technologie as a Skype call and you cannot answer a call as a page.

I understand that.  However can you setup a polycom phone to forward all calls to a group page?

Hello Mike,

As already explained a Skype for Business call is something completely different to a Page.

 

You can use a VVX to page multiple other phones but you cannot "forward" and incoming call as a Paged call.

To continue this conversation, if a customer has Skype for Business Online, with Cloud PBX, and Polycom VVX phones deployed, can the phones page to one another and broadcast page to all phones within a location?  If so, where is the paging software deployed?

Hello BenC_MSSkype,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

The community's VoIP FAQ contains this post here:

Jan 21, 2014 Question: How can I use PTT / Push To Talk / Paging / Page ?

Resolution: Please check => here <=


PTT / Page does not need a separate server and the phones simply support this. There are limitations on a RealPresence Trio.
