Chapter 14 Ring Group

14.1.3 Before You Begin

Before you configure the X6004's ring groups, you should decide exactly how you want to
divide your extensions into groups, and consider exactly how you want the extensions to
behave when calls come in.
14.1.4 Paging Group Example
The following sections show you how to create page groups. Paging groups are sets of
extensions that can all be called at the same time by dialing a single number (page group
number). When a page group number is dialed, all of the extensions automatically pick up via
speakerphone. One use of this feature can be to make announcements. A boss can dial the page
group number to say "Meeting in five minutes!" or "Lunch time!!! It's on me".
This example shows you how to create a single page group. The paging group is for the
marketing team and is made up of extensions 1001, 1002 and 1003. The example also gives
the right to any member of authority group Basic (all extensions in our configuration) to call
the page group. The page group number is 888, it is also configured with a PIN code 444 so
that only the people who know the code can page the Marketing group.
