Second attendant

When a second attendant is configured, it receives calls
forwarded by the first attendant (an extension or group)
to the second attendant (an extension or group). This
occurs when the first attendant is not available or does
not answer the call within a specified period of time.

Groups

A group consists of extensions joined by type or prox-
imity. Its goal is to prevent calls from going unanswered
when an extension is busy or absent.

Call groups (CG)

When a call to a Call group (CG) is received, it rings at
all the extensions for that group. The first user (tele-
phone) to answer the call initiates conversation with the
caller. Once the call is answered the other telephones
stop ringing.
