How to configure Yealink Phone as a Page Receiver
Via Override
Log in to the Manager Portal
Go to Inventory > Phone Hardware
Click Edit for the device you would like to set up
Go to Advanced > Overrides and enter the following:
#Paging Receiver Setup
multicast.listen_address.1.label="<Client Name>"
multicast.listen_address.1.ip_address="224.0.1.116:5001"
5. Click Save and Resync
Via Web GUI
Go to Directory > Multicast IP
Enter 224.0.1.116:5001 under "Listening Address"
Enter any name under the "Label" field. This will show as a caller ID when sender multicast to all listeners.
The same channel you set up for the Sender. This will allow the Listening phone to receive the Sender's Page. In this case, set it to 0.
Click Confirm.
Barge Priority
By default, incoming pages will cause active calls to be placed on hold. If you want phones to ignore multicast pages, you need to disable the paging priority setting for the receiving phones. You can do this with the override below. In the example, replace x with the desired priority. If configured as 0, this setting will be disabled and all active calls will be configured as the highest priority
multicast.receive_priority.priority="x"
Otherwise, you can set the priority of each phone, and phones will answer the incoming multicast paging calls with a higher priority and ignore those with a lower priority. In the example, replace x with the desired priority.
multicast.receive_priority.enable="x"
