Page Groups (MiNET)

Group Paging offers an extra level of granularity to paging so that subscribers can page a specific group of users who are located in the same site, without targeting the broadcast (IP multicast) to everyone within the site.

Using the page groups feature, you can send a page to a pre-determined group of the Mitel MiNet phones at your site. The page is broadcast through the speaker of each available phone. To use this feature, you must have a memory key programmed as a Page.

To page phones at your site, follow these steps:

Select the memory key programmed with the Page Group feature.
The LCD shows "Calling: Group Page" while the system identifies the available phones of the group.

When the system is ready for you to begin your page, it plays a tone on both the paging and paged phones as the group page is being established. During the group page, the paging phone displays “Paging : x of y”, where x is an integer {1, 2, 3, …, y} and y is up to a maximum of 100. While the paged phones display "Page from: <Pager’s First name + Last name>".
Speak into the handset or the speakerphone.
To end the page, you have the following options:
- Replace the handset if using the handset (5304).
- Select Speaker
- Press END.

A page is not broadcast on phones that are busy.
If you select Page while there is already a page in progress, the system waits until the page in progress is completed before your page is started. Your LCD shows "Calling: Site Page", you hear ringing while you are waiting.
On the phones receiving a page, the LCD screen displays the name of the user who originated the page ("Page from: <firstname, lastname>") and an END softkey. Users receiving the page can stop the page to their phone by pressing END (Not applicable to 5212/5312 or 5304 phones).
Group paging does not work on the Mitel 5220e IP phone and 5485 Paging Unit. Site paging, however, does work.
