5.2.2  
Group ringing 
 

Definition  
Users can administer a personal list of internal station numbers that are also called when their stations are signaled.
In this list, users can also enter their own station numbers. They might do this, for example, if a station number is permanently routed to another station (executive/secretary).
This feature is available to all types of telephones.
A feature button can be programmed on the optiPoint 500 and OpenStage TDM telephones to activate/deactivate this feature. More than one Group Ringing button can be programmed on one telephone to allow for different variations. More than one button can be activated at one time, however, the maximum number telephones to ring cannot exceed five.
The Forwarding screen is one of three screens in the System Status pathway in HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E that provides station-specific (rather than system-specific) status information. You can use the Call Forwarding screen to see if a station has a Ring Group activated or if it is part of a Ring Group.
This feature can be activated/deactivated via a DISA connection by its own station user or for another user with the aid of the feature Associated Services.
Group Ringing can be invoked during a conversation by following the above procedure using the Program/Service key.
If the feature is used frequently, the user can place the feature on a vacant button on the telephone. The feature button name is Ringing Group On in the button menu. When the feature is active, the LED is lit.
The station flag "no group ringing on busy" determines which stations in a call ringing group receive a call when the primary telephone (the one activating the feature) is busy, and which ones do not.
If the same station or smartset is in the ringing group of more than one master telephone, the flag applies to all calls signaled at this station or smartset.
If the flag is not set, group ringing always takes place, provided that the station in the call ringing group is available (default).
If the flag is set, group ringing depends on the availability of the primary telephone:
 •   If the primary telephone is available, group ringing takes place immediately
 •   If the primary telephone has activated call waiting, group ringing takes place after a 5-second delay.
 •   If the primary telephone cannot receive a call, or if call waiting is inactive, call ringing does not take place.
