devices in that call group or it has been taken on one of the devices.

rejected for all devices in the same call group. The caller continues to hear the ring-
ing tone but the devices themselves no longer ring.

hears the ring. This can also be set for each MSN phone number.
S
Send MSN
MSN assignment for outgoing calls. A particular MSN is assigned to an internal
device as the Send MSN via which all the calls are made. A device can have only one
Send MSN. However, the same MSN can be used as the Send MSN for several
devices.
