Calling Groups — These allow incoming calls to be simultaneously
directed to a particular group of telephones. This means the call is more
likely to be answered and also means that calls can be directed to a group

Groups and Calling Groups" on page 27.
Call Forward — When you are unable to answer your telephone, all of

and on page 51.

status light will still flash allowing calls to be retrieved.
Group Mailboxes — Group mailboxes are not associated with a
particular telephone but allow a group of users to have joint access to a

Hunt Groups — Hunt groups allow you to establish informal "call
centers" which ensure that calls are never missed. Calls ring to one
member of the group. If there is no answer, the call rings to the next
