executive that is receiving a call flashes so that Susan knows which executive line is
ringing and can answer accordingly (e.g. “Good morning, Tom Brown’s office…”)
11.3 Handset Preference Groups
A Handset Preference Group is a set of handset options and a list of handsets with the
options. Handset Preference Groups enable configuring handsets easily and efficiently.
Apply custom configurations to any or all of the site handsets by creating a Handset
Preference Group, specifying the handset options, and assigning handsets to the group.
No additional configuration steps are required to apply the options. Reboot the handsets
for the changes to the group settings to take effect.
The Phone System > Handsets page displays a table with the Handset Preference
Groups with options to View or Copy the PBX Station (Default) and Key System Station
(Default) templates or View, Copy, or Delete other template groups. The PBX and Key
System Default groups contain the factory default handset options for the respective
modes. The server creates New Handset Preference Groups for each unique
combination of handset options for existing phones. Phones with those options
automatically become members of the corresponding group.
11.3.1 Create New Groups
To create a new Handset Preference Group:
1. Log in to the Allworx server admin page, navigate to Phone System > Handsets,
and go to the Handset Preference Groups section.
2. Select a default group, and click the Copy link. A new Handset Preference Group
group displays with the name Copy of <name> (Default) in the group list with the
same user options as the default group.
3. Click the View link of the new group. The Handset Preference Group page opens
with the current options displays.
4. Click the Modify link in the group.
5. Rename the group in the Handset Preference Group Name field, and update the
group options, as appropriate.
Note:
Settings for existing handsets do NOT change in this process.
