In Group Coverage, senders are organized into groups, and calls received by any member of the group are sent to a receiver.

Any type of telephone (excluding QCCs) can be a member of a coverage group; however, no individual sender can be a member of more than one group. A maximum of 32 coverage groups can be set up, and there is no limit to the number of senders in each group. Three types of receivers can be programmed: calling groups, or the QCC queue and/or multiline telephones.

NOTE:

Group Coverage can be used alone or can be set up to work with either pri- mary or secondary Individual Coverage, or both. This allows callers to get personal attention from the primary and/or secondary Individual Coverage receiver and backup from Group Coverage. For example, a receiver such as a secretary can have a Primary Cover button to provide Individual Cov- erage for a sender who is also a member of a coverage group.
