Table of Contents
Scope
Intended Audience: All End Users
The following steps will allow you to setup Multicast Paging on both the sender and receiver Yealink phones. This will enable you to speak to receivers. All receivers must have the Handset connected to SIP Device in order for Multicast to auto answer.

Configure Paging Receiver
Via Override
- Log in to the Manager Portal
- Go to Inventory > Phone Hardware
- Click Edit for the device you would like to set up
- Go to Advanced > Overrides and enter the following:
#Paging Receiver Setup multicast.listen_address.1.label="<Client Name>" multicast.listen_address.1.ip_address="224.0.1.116:5001"
5. Click Save and Resync
Via Web GUI
- Go to Directory > Multicast IP
- Enter 224.0.1.116:5001 under "Listening Address"
- Enter any name under the "Label" field. This will show as a caller ID when sender multicast to all listeners.
- The same channel you set up for the Sender. This will allow the Listening phone to receive the Sender's Page. In this case, set it to 0.
- Click Confirm.
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"
