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.

12.1.4 Assigning a Bundle/SIP Trunk

Connections of the same type and in the same direction are arranged in a bundle (e.g. QSIG-IP 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 Aastra 800, 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 (“Connection to Operator”), for example. SIP accounts can also be assigned to a company. SIP trunks (SIP accounts) can also be assigned to a company.

The assignment of bundles to companies is done in the Telephony: Trunks: Bundle menu. The assignment of bundles to companies is done in the Telephony: Trunks: SIP Trunks.

For outgoing external calls which users set up via the lines of their company’s bundle/SIP trunk, the assignment of the bundle to the company is irrelevant: the charges are assigned according to the “source” principle.

Charges are billed to the company to which the user belongs who set up the con- nection. The Aastra 800 recognises this on the basis of the assignment between user groups and companies and on the basis of the routing code with which a line of the bundle/SIP trunk was seized. For more information, please see the following section.

12.1.5 Allocating Routing Codes

Routes are used for automatic and selective seizure of bundles for external calls. It is possible to seize a route by predialling a code.

In the Telephony: Trunks: Route menu, you can define which company can seize each route. An individual code for the seizure is allocated per route for each company. The Aastra 800 ensures that during configuration no seizure code is allo- cated twice (for two different routes) for each company. If during configuration of
