We are using a S50 PBX and we noticed that if we set up a 1-way paging group, enabling the called extensions to dial * to Answer, when the extension dials * the paging call is answered, but remains 1-way.
We think it would be more useful to be able to talk back if you answered a paging call (even if it started as a 1-way call).
I think this is already supported, if not, it might be a bug. Let me test it and feedback soon.
I test and found the *1 can answer the calls on one way mode as well, but as it set as one way mode, so the one dial *1 couldn't be able to talk with the one who make the paging call.
If setup to two way intercom mode, then it can talk with the one who make the paging call.
Thank you for looking at the problem, Oscar.
I already knew that I could answer the call making the paging "2-way", but the problem I have is that with 2 phones (one of which is a mobile DECT) that sometimes are close to each other I risk having noisy audio feedback if I set up the 2-way paging from the beginning.
For this reason I think it can be a useful feature to be able to switch to a 2-way call after pressing * on the receiving phone after setting up a 1-way paging call (I also don't think a 1-way private conversation is of any usefulness in this case).
Hello, were you able to solve it? I have the same problem.
Greetings
Unfortunately not: we ended up making just 1-way paging call that the receiver cannot answer.
Best regards.
