The system has 30 Department Groups that you can set up as either Ring Groups or UCD Groups,
replacing the separate Ring and UCD Groups in prior software versions. Department Groups provide
additional group capacity, better flexibility, and more simplified programming. For example:
- There are 30 Department Groups, compared with 8 Ring Groups and 8 UCD Groups in prior
versions.
- You can assign all the Department Groups as Ring Groups, all as UCD Groups, or choose any
combination of the two.
- To configure a Department Group, just assign extensions to Department Groups and set the
group types. Additionally, the group IntraMail options are set up by Department Group
regardless of group type. There are no separate IntraMail options for Ring Groups and UCD
Groups.
Separately programmed Ring Groups and UCD Groups are no longer available. Circular and Terminal
Hunting setup is unchanged
System operators (if assigned) can be Department Group members. This is helpful for Door Box and
workgroup answering.
