GROUP parameter can only be set on a deskphone-by-deskphone basis. To set the GROUP
parameter, first identify which deskphones are associated with which group, and designate a
number for each group. The number can be any integer from 0 to 999, with 0 as the default.
The largest group is assigned as Group 0.
Then, at each deskphone that does not have default parameters, instruct the installer or end-
user to invoke the GROUP Local Administrative Craft procedure. For more information, see
on page 37 and specify which GROUP number to use. After the
GROUP assignments are in place, edit the configuration file to allow each deskphone of the
appropriate group to download its proper settings.
Here is an illustration of a possible settings file for the example of a Call Center with hot-desking
associates at the same location:
IF $GROUP SEQ 1 goto CALLCENTER IF $GROUP SEQ 2 goto HOTDESK
{specify
settings unique to Group 0}
goto END
# CALLCENTER
{specify settings unique to Group 1}
goto END
# HOTDESK
{specify settings unique to Group 2}
# END
{specify settings common to all Groups}
