or cadences. Extensions can also be programmedto ring differently depending
on whether the call is an inside call or a call from an outside line.
ring groups Groups of physical telephonelines can be assigned to a ring group, also called a
pickup group.This function is normally used so that a ringing phone can be
picked up from another (non-ringing) phone using the pick up group sequence
, followed by a single digit ring group number.
An extension can also be assigned to a ring group, so that when the extension is
dialed, the group of phones will ring. T he first extension picked up in the group
of ringing phones willget the call.
Note that ring groups are notthe same as call distribution groups. See call distri-
bution groupabove for the definition of a call distribution group.
