Avaya 9600 Series Installing And Administering

GROUP parameter for customized user groups
You might have different communities of users, all of which have the same deskphone model, but
which require different administered settings. For example, you might want to group users by time
zones or work activities.
Use the GROUP parameter for this purpose:
• Identify which deskphones are associated with which group, and designate a number for
each group. The number can be any integer from 0 to 999, with 0 as the default, meaning
your largest group is assigned as Group 0.
• At each non-default deskphone, instruct the installer or user to invoke the GROUP from the
CRAFT menu and specify which GROUP number to use. The GROUP System value can
only be set on a deskphone-by-deskphone basis.

• Once the GROUP assignments are in place, edit the settings file to allow each deskphone of
the appropriate group to download its proper settings.
Example
The following is an example of a settings file with Deskphones in three different groups - group "0"
(the default), group "1", and group "2":
## First check if this phone is in group 1.
## If it is, jump to the tag GROUP1
##
IF $GROUP SEQ 1 goto GROUP1
##
## Now check if this phone is in group 2.
## If it is, jump to the tag GROUP2
IF $GROUP SEQ 2 goto GROUP2
##
## The phone is not in either GROUP 1 or 2 so it is in GROUP 0
## {specify settings unique to Group 0}
GOTO END
# GROUP1
## GROUP 1-only settings go here
## {specify settings unique to Group 1}
GOTO END
# GROUP2
## GROUP 2-only settings go here
## {specify settings unique to Group 2}
# END
## The settings here apply to all three groups
## {specify settings common to all Groups}
