8.6.3. User Interface Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

The COM Group Call feature is involved with the initial establishment of a call. It allows 2 or 3 digit dialing to reach a destination party. The destination will then ring with special ringing which can be administered via AMO.
Additional user interface items:
  • The user must answer the call via Hands-Free or by lifting the handset.
  • Each station (device) (e.g., prime line, and phantom line) may be a member of one or more Groups and can appear once in each Group.
  • A station (Keyset or DFT) has "access to" only one COM Group, but does not have to be a member of that COM Group.
  • A COM Group station can be located in a remote node. This requires that each node have a duplicate database of the COM Group members to allow all members to call each other.
  • NOTE: When the destination COM Group member resides in a different node than the calling party, the call is processed as a standard A <-> B call.
  • Small COM Groups consist of up to 10 members (allows for two digit dialing (e.g., one digit access code followed by one digit member number[0-9])).
  • Large COM Groups consist of up to 100 members (allows for three digit dialing (e.g., one digit access code followed by a two digit member number[00-99]).
  • System can be configured for up to 1,024 COM Groups.
