Paging or Intercom Cisco CUCM 8.6

[Julio Engels Urena Martniez]

Hi, I´m new working with Cisco UCM and I would like to know how can I configure paging or intercom.

I would like to make calls to the speaker of all phones in my company, so if I press x number I will be speaking through the speaker of all company phones.

Can I do this with CUCM 8.6?

Thanks in advance.

There's a difference between paging and intercom, intercom is 1:1, paging is 1:many.

Only the first is an out of the box feature

If you want paging, that's a separate server you need (informacast paging server), or a 3rd party paging system from some other vendor.

Thanks Jaime,

What I really like is paging considering your answer.

Since we are a company with more than 200 phones, I think we will need to go to a 3rd party paging system or pay for InformCast Advance.

Any recommendation for 3rd party paging system?

If you need to use 50 users in the group then you don't need license for Informacast solution .If you are looking for advanced features as well more than 50 users you need to have License for informacast .
