Overrides to Create Page Groups 

The following override will create two page groups; page group 1 is “x" and page group 2 is "y". Devices that include these override settings will be able to send page to these two groups.

  • ptt.pageMode.enable="1"
  • ptt.pageMode.group.1.label="x"
  • ptt.pageMode.group.2.label="y"
  • feature.nonVolatileRingerVolume.enabled="1"
  • np.normal.ringing.toneVolume.chassis="1000"
  • np.normal.alert.messageWaiting.tonePattern="silent"


Override to Receive Pages from a Group

In order to receive pages, individual devices must 'subscribe' to one or more page groups. The following override will allow devices to subscribe to the y group (group 2).

  • ptt.pageMode.group.2.subscribed="1"


Override to Receive Pages from Multiple Page Groups

The following override will allow devices to subscribe to both the x group (group 1) and the y group (group 2).

  • ptt.pageMode.group.1.subscribed="1"
  • ptt.pageMode.group.2.subscribed="1"
