Configuring Push-to-Talk and Group Paging


The Push-to-Talk (PTT) and Group Paging features are supported on all Poly phone models installed with UC software 4.0.0 or later.

 

NOTE: When using Paging with compatible CCX phones in Microsoft Teams mode ensure port 5002 is being used instead of 5001! Details for Paging when a CCX is in Microsoft Teams mode are >here<

 

NOTE: The Poly Trio, unlike the Edge E, VVX,CCX SoundPoint or SoundStation IP Phone Range, does not support PTT / Push to Talk! 
This is not GroupPaging

 

At present, the Trio can only receive a Page or be part of a Paging Group but cannot send a page itself.


The Group Paging feature enables you to make pages aka a:

  • one way audio announcements — to users subscribed to a page group.

 

The Push to  Talk (PTT) feature is a collaborative tool that enables you to exchange broadcasts to users subscribed to a PTT channel, much like a walkie-talkie.

 

  • You can transmit pages and PTT broadcasts using your handset, headset, or speakerphone and you can reject them, place them on hold, and end them at any time.

 

  • PTT broadcasts can be transmitted via the speakerphone, handset, and headset, and pages can be received only through the speakerphone.

Both features are available on all phones that use UC Software 4.0.0 or later.


You can enable one of these features or you can operate both simultaneously.

 

Paging and PTT each have 25 groups/channels you can subscribe to.

 

  • PTT Mode PTT mode is intended primarily for Wi-Fi phones such as the SpectraLink handsets. 

    In PTT mode, the phone behaves like a walkie-talkie
    You can broadcast audio to a PTT channel and recipients subscribed to that channel can respond to your message.

    image

Paging Mode Paging mode is intended primarily for desktop phones. 

In Paging mode, you can send announcements to recipients subscribed to a page group. 
In Page mode, announcements play only through the phone’s speakerphone.

  • image

 

In order to customize the availability of the Page functionality for other call scenarios please check the Soft Key Example 5 => here <=

 

Setting a fixed paging Volume:

 

The ptt.volume parameter (UC Software 4.0.5 or later) can be used to set a pre-defined paging Volume.

 

  • default = -20 (whereas default for ptt.emergencyChannel.volume is -10) 
    max = 0 
    min = -57

 

Logs:

 

To get logs for PTT please set the following logging levels

 

  • Settings > Logging > Global Settings > Global Log Level Limit > Log File Size (Kbytes) > VVX prior to 5.5.0 = 180 after 5.5.0 = 1000 or Trio 10240
  • Settings > Logging > Module Log Level Limits > PTT > Event 1

Hello all,

 

since ObiHai Software 7.1.0 the VVX D230 can also be part of GroupPaging.

 

To Set this up go to Voice Services > Page Groups > Page Group 1 or any other:

 

image

  • Ensure the MulticastAddress is the same as on a Poly phone running UC Software (224.0.1.116)
  • The AudioCodec also needs to be the same (G722)
  • Polycast and PolyCastListen needs to be enabled
  • PolycastGroup which the Page Group wants to be part of needs to be selected

 

Then go to DECT Wireless and select the individual Handset and select the JoinPageGroup you want to be part of:

 

image

 

NOTE:

  • Only 10 Page Groups are possible

 

VIa Star Code > Star Code Profile the number to send a Page can be defined

  • *01 for Page Group 1 Talk
  • *02 for Page Group 2 Talk

Logs:

 

In order to get logs for PTT please set the following logging levels:

  • System Management > Device Admin > Syslog and set the following:
    Server <IP of your Syslog Server>
    Level = 0

    LevelDectTerm = Debug
    LevelPageGroup = Debug
    LevelCmbsObi = Debug
    LevelCmbsDbg = On

App Switching for Group Paging in Teams

 

UC Software 7.2.0 added support for Paging when running a compatible Poly CCX phone in Microsoft Teams mode.

 

NOTE: App Switching is available on all CCX 600 & 700 and CCX 505 once available, or CCX 400 & 500 phones Hardware Revision K or higher!

image

 

As of UC Software 7.2.0, the following features work:

 

  • Exposes UC Software group paging via application switching so that it can be used in Teams and other native apps that don’t support paging.
  • Compatible to Algo, Viking and other vendors that use Poly paging protocol
  • The paging icon can be configured to open a specific channel or to provide a list of all the channels
  • Phones can be configured to send/receive or receive only

Use Cases

  • Emergency paging for building-wide emergencies
  • Group paging to specific groups
  • Support for traditional paging verticals like manufacturing, warehousing, retail, education and medical
  • Backwards compatibility to use existing Poly Phones with Teams >here<

The first task is to enable PTT Push to Talk on the handset:

 

  1. Press the Menu Key
  2. Select Settings
  3. Scroll down or up to Push to Talk
  4. Enable the feature

    • On your Rove 20 wireless handset, press and hold the Center navigation button.
    • On your Rove 30 or Rove 40 handset, press and hold the Mute button on the left side of the handset.

  2. Speak into the handset’s microphone. Release the button when done.
    All the handsets that have enabled PTT will receive your message.

 

NOTE: PTT only works if a Line is registered!
