Administering Direct Group Calling (DGC) Groups

This section tells you how to add DGC groups, assign access codes to DGC groups, and add and remove DGC group members. Keep the following considerations in mind as you administer DGC groups:

■You can assign a maximum of 32 DGC groups; therefore, target values (i.e., your response to the “DGC =“ prompt) will be a number from 1 through 32.

■Each group can have a maximum of 10 members

■A station can be a member of only one DGC group. If you attempt to add to a DGC group a station already assigned to another DGC group, the system generates a warning message. If you enter c to continue at this point, the system generates another warning, NO MORE BLOCKS. If you really want to remove the member from its current group and add it to the new target group, you enter another c. If you do not want to make this change, just press any other key to abort.

■If a DGC group has no associated delay announcement, it is useful to administer Personal Line appearances for the trunks assigned to the DGC group. Assign the Personal Line appearances to a voice terminal providing coverage for the group, for example, to a secretary or principal to the group. (Program these line appearances to ring. ) Then, if all stations in the group are busy, incoming DGC calls will ring on these buttons, providing an overload indication.
