18 Nortel DECT Messenger Administrator Guide

The group identifier that originates at the input module determines the

group to which the alarm must be sent. In “eCONFIG” (page 18), the

group identifier is 00001. The group identifier can be a group name

or any string of characters.

• Group Member -- Device

The group is composed of group members, and each group member

is an actual device (for example, an Ergoline, a DECT handset, or an

e-mail address). The output device can be a member of more than one

group. For example, a DECT handset with extension number 2000 can

be assigned to more than one group as a group member. In Figure 5

"eCONFIG" (page 17), Group 00001 has two devices (2000 and 1010).

Device 2000 uses the output program eDMSAPI, which means that

Device 2000 is a DECT handset using E2 messaging.
