Configuring and Managing Companies
Up to 5 companies can be configured in the OpenCom 100. 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:
• 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.
• 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.
• The name of the default company can be changed, but the default company itself
cannot be deleted.
Assigning Users
For each user you must define the company to which they belong. This assignment
determines, for example, which company telephone book the user has access to and
which company-specific configuration data apply to them.
As the OpenCom 100 manages users in groups, the assignment “user > company” is
also established this way. The company to which each user group belongs must be
defined for each group. A user group can only belong to one company, i.e. not to
several. However, a company can have several user groups. It is therefore possible, in
the same way as in the entire system, to allocate a range of authorisation rights for the
use and configuration of features for each company.
When setting up a new User group (in the User Manager menu), you will find that
the default company is predefined; another company can be assigned as long as no
other companies have been set up.
