Priority in Sessions
It is used to define the zone paging’s priority. There are 1-9 ranks for zones, the higher the number, the higher the rank.
How can we understand this function? For example:

We have configured 3 zones: office (3000), meeting room (3001), and control center (3002). We then assigned priority ranks to each zone ranging from 1 to 3.
When all three zones are registered and have added the same SIP device account (6677) while playing music simultaneously, the SIP device (6677) will prioritize playing the music from the office (3000) due to its highest priority number (3).
