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"
  • This override will not allow the current caller to be interrupted while on the phone by an incoming page at all.
multicast.receive_priority.enable="0"
multicast.receive_priority.priority="0"
