Configuring the Multi-Company Variant

Multi-Company Variant
●
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 Forum 5004/5008/5012 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.
Assigning a Bundle/SIP Trunk
Connections of the same type and in the same direction are arranged in a
bundle (e.g. S
0
multi-terminal connections). To be able to correctly transfer
incoming calls to the members of the configured companies (the users) via the
lines of a certain bundle of the Forum 5004/5008/5012, each of the
available bundles must be assigned to one of the companies. This is necessary
to be able to transfer incoming external calls to the correct company exchange
in cases where the called internal subscriber cannot be reached, for example.
SIP trunks can also be assigned to a company.
