associates. We provide examples of the group settings for each of these situations later in this
section.
The simplest way to separate groups of users is to associate each of them with a number. Use the
GROUP system value for this purpose. The GROUP system value
cannot
be set in the
46xxsettings file. The GROUP system value can only be set on each deskphone using a Craft
procedure. To set up groups, 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, meaning your largest group would be assigned as Group 0.
Then, at each non-default deskphone, invoke the
GROUP
Local (Craft) Administrative procedure
and specify which GROUP number to use. Once 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 GROUP1 IF $GROUP SEQ 2 goto GROUP2
{specify settings unique to
Group 0}
goto END # GROUP1
{specify settings unique to Group 1}
goto END # GROUP2
{specify settings unique to Group 2}
# END
{specify settings common to all Groups
