Title: How to set an overhead page key,
Post by: infosyst on February 01, 2018, 12:12:42 PM

I"m trying to setup an overhead page key, so users can press one button on their Mitel 5224 IP phone to page their department.
However I can't set this up as speed dial because *# won't work in a speed dial key.

In short I just want a key that either automatically pages that department, or speed dials the specific department code
example *#8470

Overhead page on an external PA system accessible by a trunk? If so, that is how ours is set up and we use # and * in our user speedcall. What we found was that it was dialing too fast for the PA system to comprehend, so we added a pause (P) to the string.

Example: 33P#1000*
