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 523/524 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 523/524, 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.
