Keith:

We have several deployments that make use of loud paging from Asterisk. We always use the Viking products driven by the FXO port of a Linksys 3102. It works great. In addition, the same device can be used to provide loud ringing over the PA speakers by using the FXS port from the same Linksys 3102. They also have a music input so a radio or other music device can play music into the warehouse that gets automatically muted when the paging or loud ringing cuts in.

Viking makes at least 2 products that will work in this environment.

CPA-7B

PA-30

The CPA-7B also comes with a small horn style speaker. We have found that for most of our installs the CPA-7B just didn't have enough power and we ended up using the PA-30.

If you end up using these I have some dialplan configs that I can send you (its pretty straight forward though)

Regards,
Bill

Subject: [biz] Asterisk PA/Paging


Hi All,



We have a prospect in a warehouse that would require paging to be done on a
PA type of system through the phone, i.e. someone answers an inbound call,
puts the person on hold, enters a feature code and says, "Keith line 1
please, Keith line 1".  Similar to what you would find at the grocery store.



We would like to deploy an Asterisk solution for them but, this is one
requirement that is needed.



If anyone would like to share their thoughts on this it would be
appreciated.



Thanks,
