The PA port on the ShoreTel switch works great. The one limitation is that you can only use one port per site. Having had a couple of customers request multi-zone paging, I found the Valcom 9970 very easy to install and has been very reliable.
The setup is easy - Create a user and assign to an analog port.. Don't forget to set call stack to 1. Once created you will want to put an analog phone on the port and make a phone call or two, this will set the echo level on the line.
Mount the Valcom 9970 to the wall. I did have to get a power supply from Radio Shack for the unit. Connect the PA connection to the Valcom unit. Plug your analog extension into unit.
That is it. You will need one unit for every zone you create.
