Multicast Paging on Polycom Phones
The following override creates two page groups: group 1 is "All Page" and group 2 is "Sales". Devices with these settings will be able to send pages to both groups.
ptt.pageMode.group.1.label="All Page"
ptt.pageMode.group.2.label="Sales"
feature.nonVolatileRingerVolume.enabled="1"
np.normal.ringing.toneVolume.chassis="1000"
np.normal.alert.messageWaiting.tonePattern="silent"
Subscribing to Page Groups
In order to receive pages, individual devices must subscribe to one or more page groups.
Subscribe to Sales group only (group 2):
Subscribe to both All Page (group 1) and Sales (group 2):
ptt.pageMode.group.2.subscribed="1"

The default multicast IP address used by Polycom phones is 224.0.1.116. The default multicast port is 5001. Default values may be changed with the following overrides:

You only need to apply the Receive Only override at the Domain level if you want to prevent all Polycoms on the account from paging.For mixed phone manufacturer accounts, apply the Domain Level override for listen only at the Device level instead for the listen only devices.
The Send — One-Touch override is intended for single paging group Polycom accounts. It replaces the traditional Paging button with a direct softkey, removing the extra menu step.
