Open Paging Server Demo
The Open Paging Server Project operates a public demo server which can be used to evaluate the available features and user interface before installation available at https://demo.openpagingserver.org.
The performance of the demo server will not be representative of how it will run on your own system to due several factors. Including available resources, public traffic, and amount of users.
When using the demo server, you'll be able to receive messages sent by any other user. As such, you should not stay connected to the demo server long term.
Available Groups
The server is setup to replicate a school-district. With multiple campuses/buildings. Each group is named after a fictional building in this district. Each one different types of endpoints. You can use Multicast Gateway to receive multicast RTP for both generic streams and Polycom streams. Each also has it's own sets of bells.

Connecting Multicast Gateway
In order to receive multicast RTP streams, you'll need to use Multicast Gateway. Since you cannot manage servers directly, you'll need to use the provision option.
In Multicast Gateway, select Provsion to Open Paging Server.
Enter demo.openpagingserver.org as the server address.
demo as the username and demo as the password.
The name you enter to be stored in Open Paging Server will not be saved. Your current public IP address will be saved instead. It cannot be viewed by other users of the demo server.
Once it's setup, configure your devices to listen to one of the above multicast streams. You can learn more on how to do this in Administration > Endpoints.
