Cut Through Paging for Pagers Overview
-
The messaging system can be configured to enable callers to send their phone number to a subscriber's pager when the
subscriber phone is unanswered. This is called cut-through paging.
There are three types of cut-through paging for a subscriber extension:
• Attended Paging. A caller presses a touchtone key and enters a phone number to send a phone number to a
pager. The system reports if the page is successful before closing the call. If the call to the pager does not connect,
the caller has the opportunity to leave a voice message. Attended paging can be configured to use one or two ports.
• Unattended Paging. A caller presses a touchtone key and enters a phone number. The messaging system ends
the call. The system sends the caller's phone number to the pager and ends the call. Unattended paging can be
configured to use one or two ports.
• Release Paging. A caller presses a touchtone key to send a phone number to a pager. The messaging system
transfers the page to the subscriber's paging service and ends the call.
• When release paging and hold music are both enabled, callers hear music while the messaging system dials the
pager.
• Release paging by outside callers is available only if the phone system supports trunk-to-trunk transfers. For
more information, contact your phone system administrator.
• When release paging is enabled and the number for the paging service is a long-distance call, the call to the
pager incurs a long-distance charge.
Cut-through Paging Special Characters
There are two special dialing characters available for use with cut-through paging:
Colon ( : ). Use with cut
:
subscriber's pager phone number awaits an answer, and then dials the number following
the colon.
For example, on the subscriber notification page with a pager phone device, the following
dialing string: 1234567:999 is typed in the Other number field. This example assumes the
outdial trigger length is set to 7; therefore the outdial access code 9, is automatically
inserted at the beginning of the dial string.
The messaging system dials 9,1234567. When the paging system answers, the messaging
system dials the phone number entered by the caller, followed by 999.
M. Use with cut
M
entered by the calling party when paging a subscriber. For example, on the subscriber
notification page with a pager phone device, the following dialing string: 1234567:*M999
is typed in the Other number field. This example assumes the outdial trigger length is set
to 7; therefore the outdial access code 9, is automatically inserted at the beginning of the
dial string.
The messaging system dials 9,1234567 to deliver a message to the subscriber pager.
When the paging system answers, the messaging system dials 999.
If you do not include the M special dialing character after the colon, the messaging system
dials the calling party's phone number immediately after the paging system answers.
Using One or Two Ports for Cut
When attended or unattended cut-through paging is selected the messaging system is vulnerable to toll call fraud when
only one port is specified for use with cut-through paging. When the messaging system uses two ports, there is no risk
of toll fraud, however, the phone system does use two ports for each call.
