Groups of Extensions

You can assign a T1 line with DID to a calling group. However, you cannot assign a coverage path
for a calling group that has T1 lines with Direct Inward Dialing (DID). See “Direct Inward Dialing
(DID)— Release 6.0 and Later” on page 4-27.
Considerations 4
■ Extensions can be in more than one Calling Group. In addition, you can assign all extensions
in the system to one group—this helps in making paging announcements to all employees.
■ Do not assign extensions that connect auxiliary equipment (auto attendants, voice messaging
systems, fax machines, answering machines, hotline telephones, or doorphones) or
extensions assigned as External Hotline telephones to a Calling Group.
■ Users can make simultaneous announcements over the loudspeaker paging system and the
system telephones assigned to Calling Group 1. See “Simultaneous Paging (I*70)” on page
8-51.
■ You cannot assign a coverage path for a calling group that has T1 lines with Direct Inward
Dialing (DID).
Programming 4
To create a Calling Group:
1. Press
f00ss#502 at extension 10 or 11.
2. At the Group: prompt, enter a group number (1–4).
3. At the Extension: prompt, enter the number of the extension to be programmed.
4. To assign or unassign the extension, press
D until the appropriate value appears:
■ 1 = Assigned to group
■ 2 = Not Assigned to group (the factory setting) 
5. Do one of the following:
■ To program another extension, press n or p until the extension number
appears on the display. Repeat Step 4.
■ To program another group, press N + P and repeat Steps 2
through 4.
6. Select another procedure, or exit programming mode.
Hunt Group Extensions (#505) 4
Use this feature to assign any number of extensions to a Hunt Group. When extensions are in a
Hunt Group, an incoming call searches or “hunts” for the first available extension. The system
supports up to eight Hunt Groups; however, Hunt Group 7 is used exclusively for the voice
messaging system, and Hunt Group 8 is used exclusively for transferring and detecting fax calls.
For instructions on ringing or paging extensions in a Hunt Group or transferring calls to a Hunt
Group, see “Group Calling—Ring/Page (I7G/I*7G)” on page 8-39.
