1.22 Portable Station (PS) Features
Normally when a PS receives a call, one channel of a CS is used to ring the PS (→ 1.22.1 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.
a)
Floating Extension Number: When this number is called, all PSs in the group ring.
b)
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".
c)
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.
d)
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.
