Using Distribution Lists
Distribution lists provide a way to use a single destination number to send
messagesto a group of people. You can send or forward a message to a list
justas you would to an extension. When you send a message to a list, it is
sentto everyone on the list.
Youcan create up to 100 distribution lists, and each list can have up to 64
entries.An entry can be anextension of anykind, including virtual or
workgroup pilots, or another distribution list, so in effect there is no
practicallimit to the number of people to which you can send a single
message.
When you create lists at your station, they are your personal distribution
lists—every extension can have its own lists. There may also be system
distributionlists created by your system administrators.
