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.

[3.01] A Ring Group is a uniquely assigned Department Group. By default, all 30 Department Groups are assigned as Ring Groups. Department Groups 1-30 use extension numbers 601-630. See Department Groups for more

Overflow for Group Ring Calls

[3.01] You can set up a Ring Group to overflow to voice mail.

If the Ring Group DIL does not have overflow programmed, the call will divert to Key Ring after the Line No Answer interval.
