Example of a paging system setup

Before you begin: This article assumes you've already set up your paging realms and profiles.

Alpine School District is comprised of an Elementary School, Jr. High School, and High School. Each principal needs to broadcast announcements (pages) to the hallways, cafeteria, or classrooms by dialing the appropriate zone number from their phone. Complete the following for each school.

**Diagram Key**
Icon	Term	Description
	Paging Realm	Group of zones inside a single local area network (LAN)
	Zone	Group of subscribing devices
	Paging Profile	Defines which zones a device can send and/or receive pages from
	Transmit Device	Device that sends pages
	Subscribe Device	Device that receives pages, sometimes a speaker (IP Amplifier)

Set the Paging Realm to the school's name.
Assign the zones as follows:
- Zone 01 = Hallways
- Zone 02 = Cafeteria
- Zone 03 = Classrooms
Create a Paging Profile called Hallway Devices.
Select the school name as the Paging Realm for that profile.

Set the following permissions and select Save:

Zone Membership	Setting
`01` Hallways	Subscribe only
`02` Cafeteria	No subscribe or transmit
`03` Classrooms	No subscribe or transmit

Create a Paging Profile called Cafeteria Devices.
Select the school name as the Paging Realm for that profile.

Set the following permissions and select Save:

Zone	Setting
`01` Hallways	No subscribe or transmit
`02` Cafeteria	Subscribe only
`03` Classrooms	No subscribe or transmit

Create a Paging Profile called Classroom Devices.
Select the school name as the Paging Realm for that profile.

Set the following permissions and select Save:

Zone	Setting
`01` Hallways	No subscribe or transmit
`02` Cafeteria	No subscribe or transmit
`03` Classrooms	Subscribe only

Create a Paging Profile called Principal's Device.
Select the school name as the Paging Realm for that profile.

Set the following permissions and select Save:

Zone	Setting
`01` Hallways	Transmit only
`02` Cafeteria	Transmit only
`03` Classrooms	Transmit only

What to do next: Each device used in multicast paging will need its respective paging profile assigned. Users that have the same paging permissions can share a single paging profile by assigning the that paging profile to each of their devices.
