I have been trying to get the paging/intercom feature to play a tone or a sound file when the remote phones pickup. Does anyone know how to do this. So far I have just been trying to manipulate the * code in the dial-plan manager

I was able to do it using mulit-cast to the phones/speakers
<extension name="multicast_page_tone" continue="false" uuid="35ad3ded-b023-4c03-a82a-01adf45e0060">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^pagegroup$|^8001">
<action application="answer" data=""/>
<action application="set" data="esf_multicast_write_codec=G722"/>
<action application="set" data="esf_multicast_alert_sound=/var/lib/freeswitch/recordings/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/schoolbell2_16000.wav"/>
<action application="esf_page_group" data="224.0.1.116 5001 1213 5"/>

Muticast will only work with Fusionpbx on same network other options are page (page_path=/path/to/page_announcement.wav) or conference play sound or yet sockets w uuid. You can also modify page.lua accordingly but on certain speakers sound will play only during 180 header I still couldn't figure out why
Probably the best option is purchasing devices designed to be an alerter, like an ALGO SIP Alerter. Then you can register, wall mount and stick them in ring groups or call each one individually in an alerter mode, or intercom mode. The volume is also much louder, and they are tamper-resistant.
