New features and functionality

    • Assigning a DID to a group allows for up to 1000 members in that group to be called from an internal or external caller. Assigning an Ext. to a group allows for internal organization callers to ring the group.
    • When the group DID/Ext is called, 15 users within the group are simultaneously rung at a time. The first user that picks up the call connects and all other users stations stop ringing.
    • Users in the group are alerted for a default of ~12 seconds, if no one picks up the call, then the next set of 15 users in the group are alerted. This continues until the group has been alerted for ~120 seconds, all users in the group have been alerted, a user in the group picks up the call, or the caller hangs up.
    • Up to 1000 users in a group are chosen at random to receive a group ring call for the group.
    • Users that are alerted for a group ring call see a visual representation in the UI indicating that the incoming call is for a group and the group name displays.
    • Call history of a user alerted as part of a group ring will reflect the group that was called. The group that was called is displayed for both missed calls and answered calls.
    • A user with call forward enabled will not be rung as part of the group ring.
    • Whatever station the user is associated with are rung as part of the group ring (for example, if a remote station is configured that remote’s station is alerted).
