INTRODUCTION
Multicast paging is an approach to let different SIP users listen to a page from a common multicast IP
address. In multicast page call, one-way audio will setup from sender to listeners, but the listeners cannot
talk to each other. The sender and listeners must be located within the same LAN.
Users could configure line keys or multi-purpose keys to send multicast paging. Also, FAP26XX Carrier-
Grade IP Phones are capable to listen to at most 10 different multicast addresses by following defined
preference.
This document serves as an end user guide on how to configure multicast page on the FAP26XX Carrier-
Grade IP Phones. To learn more about FAP26XX's basic and advanced features, please visit

phones.

SENDING MULTICAST PAGING
Configuration
For FAP261x, sender multicast page configurations are under Web UI →Settings
→Programmable Keys →Virtual Multi-Purpose Keys.
1. Set the key Mode to Multicast Paging in dropdown list.
2. Enter the multicast paging description in Description field.
3. Enter multicast paging address and port in Value field.
The range of multicast page address is 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 with a port not in use by
phone.
The below figure shows the example of setting Virtual Multi-purpose Keys to multicast page sending key.
Figure 1 : Sending Multicast Page Configuration by using VPKs FAP261x
For FAP260x, sender multicast page configurations are under Web UI →Programmable Keys →Idle
Screen Softkeys.
1. Enable the option “Custom Idle Screen Softkey Layout”.
2. Under Custome Softkey Layout select the option “paging” from the available list.
3. Then save the configuration.
Upon pressing the paging key on the idle screen, users need to select the configured muticast IP under
Phone Settings →Multicast Paging to where the muticast paging will be sent.
Notes:
• For FAP2604(P) only starting from firmware 1.0.3.36, sender multicast page configurations are
under Web UI →Programmable Keys →Multi-Purpose Keys.
1. Set the key Mode to Multicast Paging in dropdown list.

2. Enter the multicast paging description in Description field.
3. Enter multicast paging address and port in Value field.
The range of multicast page address is 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 with a port not in use by
phone as shown in the below figure.

Send Multicast Paging Call
After configuring the sender multicast page, users could make a multicast page to remote parties.
1. Press the configured MPK or Line Key to send a multicast page.
The LED light of the key will turn green and the phone screen will show the multicast address with
defined label. See Figure 3 Multicast Page screen.
2. Press the “EndCall”soft key to end the multicast paging.

RECEIVING MULTICASTPAGING
Configuration
To receive multicast page, the FAP26XX must be well configured to listen to the right address and port.
The configuration is set up under Web UI → Settings → Multicast Paging . There are 10 listening address
supported with priority levels 1 to 10. Optionally, each of these addresses can also have a label that will
display on LCD when the page is received.

For the FAP260x the configuration is set up under Web UI →Phone Settings→Multicast Paging.

Settings →Multicast Paging
Multicast Paging
Function
Enable or disable multicast paging. (Available only in the FAP260x)
Allowed In DND Mode
Allow Multicast paging when DND Mode is enabled.
Paging Barge
Assigns any number from 1 to 10. When enabled, during active call if
incoming multicast page is higher than this value, the call will be held and
multicast page will be played. Default setting is “Disabled”.
Paging Priority Active
If enabled, during a multicast page if another multicast is received with
higher priority that one will be played instead. Default setting is
“Disabled”.
Multicast Paging Codec
The codec for Multicast page sending. The default setting is G.722.
G.729A/B, PCMA, G.726-32 and G.722 (wide band) are supported as
well.
Multicast Channel
Number
Multicast Channel Number range is 0-50. 0 for normal RTP packets, 1-50
for Polycom multicast format packets.
Multicast Sender ID
Outgoing caller ID that displays to your page group recipients (for
multicast channel 1-50).
Multicast Listening
Support 10 of listening multicast address with priority levels 1-10 with 1
being the highest priority. The lower the level, the higher the priority.
Paging Barge
This option is to control the priorities between multicast page and common SIP call. Available options are
Disabled and numbers 1 to 10. If the option is set to disabled then all incoming pages are ignored while
in call.
When the option is set to number, Paging Barge is enabled. If the number of Paging Barge is higher than
an incoming page’s priority value (determined by the position in the list 1-10) then the incoming page is
not played. Similarly, if the Paging Barge value is lower than an incoming page’s priority value, and then
the active SIP call will be held.
Paging Priority Active
This option is to control the priorities among different multicast pages. If the option is disabled, the phone
ignores any incoming pages when a page is already being played. Otherwise, incoming pages with a

P a g e 9
higher priority will be played instead of the current page. For example, if the phone is playing a page
whose priority is 5 and there is an incoming page with priority 3, the priority 5 page will stop and the priority
3 page will play instead.
Receive Multicast Paging Call
After multicast page listening well configured, please reboot the phone to let the settings take effect. When
there is a page on the listening address and port, the phone will play the incoming audio automatically.
User can press “EndCall” softkey to end the page.
