Multi-Company Variant
Activating the Multi-Company Variant
To be able to configure several companies in the Forum 523/524,
the “Multi-company variant” feature must first be activated. This
is done in the Configurator on the Web console in the System:
Common menu. Activate the Multi company option here.
Only when this option has been activated are the fields required to
configure the multi-company variant available in the other menus
of the Web console, for example in the User Manager: User
groups menu or in the Telephony: Trunks menu.
Configuring and Managing Companies
Up to 5 companies can be configured in the Forum 523/524. By
default, one company with the name “Company 1” is predefined.
All configuration settings, e.g. in the user groups or in the bundle
configuration, apply to this predefined default company if not
other company has been selected.
Companies are set up and managed in the Telephony:
Extended: Companies menu:
z A new company is created in this menu using the command
New. Each company can be given a name up to 20 characters
long. This name is then displayed in all configuration dialogue
boxes in which company-specific settings can be defined.
z In this menu a company can be deleted again using the
command Delete. If a company is deleted which is still used at
other places (in the user groups, for example), the respective
configuration is changed to the default company.
z The name of the default company can be changed, but the
default company itself cannot be deleted.
