12.1Configuring the Multi-Company Variant

The multi-company variant can be commissioned and configured by the system administrator of the Aastra 800 without any major effort. In the multi-companyvariant, 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 feature must be activated (see Activating the Multi-Company Variant starting on page 115).

2.The required companies must be set up (see Configuring and Managing Com- panies starting on page 116).

3.The users of the Aastra 800 are assigned to the individual companies (see Assigning Users starting on page 116).

4.In order that the Aastra 800 can transfer incoming calls to the corresponding company (or its staff) correctly, the existing bundles must be uniquely assigned to the companies (see Assigning a Bundle/SIP Trunk starting on page 117).

5.In the case of outgoing external calls, the lines via which the members of a company can make a call must be defined (see Allocating Routing Codes starting on page 117).

6.An exchange must be set up for each company so that the Aastra 800 can cor- rectly process statuses in which a call should be routed to the exchange (see Configuring the Company Exchange starting on page 118).

12.1.1 Activating the Multi-Company Variant

To be able to configure several companies in the Aastra 800, the “Multi-company variant” (OpenCompany 45) program package must first be activated. This is done in the Configurator on the Web console in the System: Licences menu. The license confirmation you received with the program package contains all the infor- mation you require about how to proceed.
