1.20 Portable Station (PS) Features
Normally when a PS receives a call, one channel of a CS is used to ring the PS (
Portable Station (PS) Connection). If several PSs are members of an incoming call distribution
(ICD) group, the available channels of a CS will become busy just by ringing each PS.
Assigning a group of PSs to a PS ring group alleviates this strain on the CS because only one
channel is needed to ring a PS ring group's members.
PS ring group members and related parameters are assigned through system programming,
as explained below.

Floating Extension Number: When this number is called, all PSs in the group ring.
Group Name: Can be displayed on a ringing PS to indicate that the incoming CO line
call is a group call, and not a call directed to the PS's extension number. This is only
available when Incoming CO Line Call Information Display is set to "Called
Number".
Incoming CO Line Call Information Display: Determines which information is
shown on the PS display when a group call is received. Select "Caller ID" to display
the caller's telephone number or name, or "Called Number" to display the name of
the PS ring group which is receiving the call.
Member PSs: Select each PS that will be a member of the corresponding PS ring
group. Note that a PS can belong to more than one PS ring group.
