Group Ring
Description
Group Ring allows you to arrange extensions into Ring Groups for answering calls. When a call comes into
the Ring Group master number, all extensions in the group ring simultaneously. Any user in the Ring Group
can answer the call just by lifting the handset. The ringing call can be:
❥ A Direct Inward Line to the Ring Group (i.e., terminated to the Ring Group master number).
❥ An outside call transferred to the Ring Group master number.
❥ An intercom call to the Ring Group master number.
The system provides up to 8 Ring Groups (1-8). The Ring Group master numbers are predefined as 600-607,
but can be any valid extension number not already in use.
An unanswered DIL to the Ring Group master number can be picked up by the Ring Group Mailbox.
