Multicast / Paging / Intercom - Yealink T58

[Chris708]

Wonder if you got your T58V to work? The original post had a T58 I believe.

Anyway, there is also a setting in phones with newer firmware to have a channel---do not set that. I initially tried using that but needed to get paging working quickly with a client so I just left that blank. I don't see you using that so that's fine. Some time I'll try getting channels to work but I have it working in newer firmware without that so I just leave it blank.

Also, on your T58 screenshot, you have the linekey.2.line= 0 --- There is no Line 0 for Yealink phones (that I know of). That should probably be linekey.2.line = 1

You listed your Listen addresses but what are your sending addresses?

Wanted to add for anyone reading this.

Yealink also now (always?) has the option to bring up a Paging List - If you are going to have more than one paging button, this is a very handy option to just configure a DSS key or Arrow Key with the Paging List. The Paging List will bring up a list of all the Sending Multicast Paging addresses set up on a specific phone.

For our Asterisk Cloud PBX provider, they also use the SMARTY php script programming. I was able to use IF statements to program phones with specific extensions to listen to multicast and leave others out. This allowed me to NOT have to create multiple templates for multiple groups of phones.
