Unless you use a Valcom or Belkin solution. They make all different types of amplifiers and zoning solutions for paging. Asterisk can work with what ever you want hardware wise and the actual paging will sound better than your typical phone system with paging.

If you need it anywhere but in a barnyard, you should plan on selecting a different phone system. It might work in a Sams, but certainly not in an office. I like * & as soon as I find time to get it setup, I intend to use it in our offices, but we don't use paging, I don't like paging. There are offices that use paging all day long to announce calls "Joe pickup on line 2" To answer your question, as I understand *'s paging implementation, you assign an extension to be the "page extension", calls placed to this extension are routed to Asterisk's sound card which can then be wired into an amplifier & speakers where you want them. As stated in paragraph 1, this is fine for a barnyard or a Sam's (think barn with stuff for sale). It doesn't work in an office without putting speakers in every nook & cranny of the office.
