Digium Multicast Paging

I’ve been searching for information on utilizing multicast paging with Digium phones. My test phone is a D40, the test system is FreePBX 5.211.65-11.
Has anyone set up a paging system utilizing Digium and multicasting? If so, any advice is most welcome. For the Yealinks it was fairly straightforward but I haven’t found very much on this type of application for Digium.
I have read that Digiums are capable of using multicast DNS discovery, but have not found mention yet of being able to set a multicast listen or send address on the phones.
Thank you for your thoughts.

Confirmed this is still accurate via IRC.

Hi,

Digium today confirmed that their phones support multicast paging. Does anyone have a how-to for setting this? Google search has been fruitless so far.

Thanks in advance.

With whom at Digium did you speak?

My co-worker got the information from a digium support rep/engineer, Wissam Arabo. Is this not correct?

That is incorrect information. Today’s current firmware does not support Multicast Paging.

Thank you for the information.
