Using The Group Parameter To Set Up Customized Groups - Avaya J169 Installing And Administering

• Conditionals, of the form IF $parameter_name SEQ string GOTO tag. Conditionals
cause the Goto command to be processed if the value of the parameter named
parameter_name exactly matches string. If no such parameter named parameter_name
exists, the entire conditional is ignored. You can use only the following parameters in a
conditional statement are: GROUP, MACADDR, MODEL, MODEL4, VPNACTIVE and
SIG_IN_USE.
• SET commands, of the form SET parameter_name value. Invalid values cause the
specified value to be ignored for the associated parameter_name so the default or previously
administered value is retained. All values must be text strings, even if the value itself is
numeric, a dotted decimal IP Address, etc.
• Comments, which are statements that start with either two pound characters (##) or one
pound (#) character followed by any character except space, in the first column.
Note:
The pound (#) character followed by a space represents a tag, and not a comment.

Using the GROUP parameter to set up customized groups

About this task
Different users might have the same phone model, but require different administered settings. For
example, you might want to restrict call center agents from logging off, which might be an
essential capability for hot-desking associates.
Use the GROUP parameter to set up customized groups:
Procedure
1. Identify the phones and the groups the phones belong to, 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.
2. You can only set the GROUP parameter either at each individual deskphone or when a you
register a phone with Avaya Aura
To set the GROUP parameter on each deskphone, use the GROUP procedure from the
local administrative options. To set the GROUP parameter on a phone registered with
Communication Manager, administer the GROUP parameter on a phone-by-phone basis
on the Communication Manager Station Form.
3. After you assign the GROUP assignments, edit the configuration file to enable each phone
of the appropriate group to download the proper settings.
