Features
Calling Group Type
The Group Type setting determines whether or not the system automatically
logs in members of a Calling Group following a power failure. The setting also
determines the type of voice messaging interface (VMI) when the Calling Group
is used to connect voice messaging systems or automated attendant
applications.
The following settings are available:
■ Auto Logout: (the factory setting): This setting is used for Calling Groups
to specify that the system does not automatically log in Calling Group
members after a power failure. When the Group Type is set to Auto
Logout (the factory setting) and a call sent to a Calling Group member is
not answered within 30 seconds (5 rings), the call is sent to another
member or to the front of the queue if another Calling Group member is
not available.
■ Auto Login: This setting is for Calling Groups used for fax machines or
data (also called data hunt groups) to specify that the system
automatically logs in Calling Group members following a power failure.
See the Data User’s Guide for more detailed information. The setting
also can be used for Calling Groups used for telephones.
■ Integrated VMI: This setting is used when a voice messaging system
(such as AUDIX Voice Power™
—IS II/III or MERLIN MAIL) that requires
special signaling for integrated operation is connected to one or more
telephone jacks assigned to a Calling Group. The system automatically
logs in the Calling Group members after a power failure.
■ Generic VMI: This setting is used when a voice messaging system (such
as MERLIN Attendant or Integrated Voice Power Automated Attendant)
that does not require special signaling, is connected to one or more
station jacks assigned to a Calling Group. The system automatically logs
in the Calling Group members after a power failure.
Considerations and Constraints
A telephone can be a member of only one Calling Group.
Calling Groups with no members are allowed.
Extension Status must be set to Calling Group/Call Management System (CMS),
the factory setting, and not hotel configuration.
The Integrated or Generic Voice Messaging Interface (VMI) group type cannot
be assigned to a Calling Group used for fax machines.
When Calling Group members make a call to their own Calling Group, the call is
not delivered to that group member because he or she is considered
unavailable while making the call.
