This article explains the steps required to configure Yealink phones, such as the T33G model, for multicast paging and to set up a dedicated paging button.

Overview of Multicast Paging on Yealink Phones

Yealink phones support multicast paging, allowing users to simultaneously broadcast messages to multiple devices within the same network subnet. Proper configuration ensures seamless communication and usability.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Enable the Device to Receive Multicast Pages.

To allow the Yealink device to listen for multicast pages, apply the following configuration overrides:

multicast.listen_address.1.ip_address="224.5.6.20:10008"
multicast.listen_address.1.label="page all"

2. Enable the Device to Send Multicast Pages.

To allow the device to broadcast pages, configure the paging button using the following override:

linekey.2.type="24"
linekey.2.value="224.5.6.20:10008"
linekey.2.label="Page All"

This configuration designates line key 2 as the paging button. Ensure the button is accessible for frequent usage.

Setup Requirements

All Yealink phones involved must be on the same subnet to support multicast functionality adequately.

Additional Notes

The button configuration occurs automatically when the line key override code is applied, streamlining repeat deployments.

By following these instructions, you can efficiently configure your Yealink phone f
