Basically it has nothing to do with your server, it's the address that when you start a page the phone will send the audio packets to. In order for all phones on the network to hear it, you use a special multi-cast address which tells the network equipment (switches, etc) to forward that traffic to all devices who might be listening.

Go back to the Yealink documentation and follow the steps there for setting up multicast paging.

Hi Jolouis,

Thanks for your response. Yes I am using the IP that I got from the phone that I want to make pages. To clarify, I should make an IP multicast address (just pick some numbers to create one)? Apologies for the elementary question.

Hi,

I changed the IP as Jolouis suggested and the multicast system now works! Thank you for your assistance. I opened a case with Vonage 2 months ago and they have no idea what they are doing.

I have Vonage as well and have struggled with this for a month now. How did you get the Multicast / Paging to work?
