The Group Parameter - Avaya one-X 9600 Series Administrator's Manual

Telephone Software and Application Files
Note:
Enclose all data in quotation marks for proper interpretation.
Note:
GET commands, of the form GET filename. The telephone will attempt to download the
●
file named by filename, and if it is successfully obtained, it will be interpreted as an
additional settings file, and no additional lines will be interpreted in the original file. If the
file cannot be obtained, the telephone will continue to interpret the original file.
Download the 46xxsettings.txt template file from support.avaya.com and edit it to add your own
custom settings. See
values. You need only specify settings that vary from defaults, although specifying defaults is
harmless.

The GROUP Parameter

You might have different communities of users, all of which have the same telephone model,
but which require different administered settings. For example, you might want to restrict Call
Center agents from being able to Logoff, which might be an essential capability for
"hot-desking" associates. We provide examples of the group settings for each of these
situations later in this section.
Use the GROUP parameter for this purpose:
1. identify which telephones are associated with which group, 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. The GROUP parameter can only be set either at each individual telephone or when a
telephone with Software Release 1.5 or greater is registered to an Avaya Communication
Manager (CM) server with CM Release 4.0 or greater. In the former case, the GROUP Craft
(local administrative) procedure must be invoked as specified in the Avaya one-X™
Deskphone Edition for 9600 IP Telephones Installation and Maintenance Guide. In the latter
case, GROUP is administrable on a phone-by-phone basis on the CM Station Form.
3. Once the GROUP assignments are in place, edit the configuration file to allow each
telephone of the appropriate group to download its proper settings.
Here is an example of the configuration file for the Call Center agent:
IF $GROUP SEQ 1 goto CALLCENTER
IF $GROUP SEQ 2 goto HOTDESK
