I'm looking for a way to tie an all call or all page in to our overhead speakers.

Currently we dial 800 on our cisco phones and it will open all the phones in the building. I believe that is using multicast for the phones and may not acutally touch the pbx server. We also have an 801 to do it but I think that does goes through the server. Maybe using 801 would activate a device that could interupt the over head, but I need that device.

Any suggestions?

Are you looking for one-way paging? There are 2 ways to achieve this. A paging group, that basically dials every extenion and auto-answer. Does not work well with more than about 20 extensions. The other way, if your phones support it is multicast.
How are the overhead speakers connected> are they SIP devices or speakers wired to an analog amp? Cyberdata makes a device that will interface to an analog amp and can do either a SIP extension and/or multicast.
