• Paging - the caller can simply dial a number configured for a group of
extensions. The telephones with the extensions in the group automatically pick
up. It is similar to creating an automatic conference call.
• Hunting - the caller can simply dial a number to reach a group of extensions.
The extensions ring based on a ringing method you configure. For example, all
extensions can ring at the same time until the call is picked up or extensions in
the group ring in a random order until the call is picked up.
14.1.3 Before You Begin
Before you configure the X6004’s ring groups, you should decide exactly how you
want to divide your extensions into groups, and consider exactly how you want
the extensions to behave when calls come in.
14.1.3.1 Paging Group Example
The following sections show you how to create page groups. Paging groups are
sets of extensions that can all be called at the same time by dialing a single
number (page group number). When a page group number is dialed, all of the
extensions automatically pick up via speakerphone. One use of this feature can be
to make announcements. A boss can dial the page group number to say “Meeting
in five minutes!” or “Lunch time!!! It’s on me”.
This example shows you how to create a single page group. The paging group is
for the marketing team and is made up of extensions 1001, 1002 and 1003. The
example also gives the right to any member of authority group Basic (all
extensions in our configuration) to call the page group. The page group number is
888, it is also configured with a PIN code 4444 so that only the people who know
the code can page the Marketing group.
