Configuring the Multi-Company
Variant
The multi-company variant can be commissioned and configured by the
system administrator of the Forum 5004/5008/5012 without any major
effort. In the multi-company variant, the communications system behaves in
exactly the same way as the single-company variant. This is particularly of
interest to users who want to expand their own system and at the same time
operate it in a group.
The process in brief:
1.
The required companies must be set up (see
2.
The users of the Forum 5004/5008/5012 are assigned to the individual
companies (see
3.
In order that the Forum 5004/5008/5012 can transfer incoming calls to
the corresponding company (or its staff) correctly, the existing bundles
must be uniquely assigned to the companies (see
4.
In the case of outgoing external calls, the lines via which the members of a
company can make a call must be defined (see
5.
An exchange must be set up for each company so that the Forum 5004/
5008/5012 can correctly process statuses in which a call should be
routed to the exchange (see
Configuring the Company Exchange
Configuring and Managing Companies
Up to 5 companies can be configured in the Forum 5004/5008/5012. By

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.
