ICD Groups vs. PS Ring Groups

Assigning PSs to either an ICD group or a PS ring group will allow multiple PSs to receive group calls simultaneously. The differences between the two are highlighted below:

Features

Members can ring simultaneously when a call is received

Calls can be distributed to member extensions using different methods

The CS is less likely to be busy; ringing all member PSs uses only one CS channel

Members can log-in, log-out, and use Wrap-up time, ICD Group button

Both PTs and PSs can belong to the same group

Each member can belong to more than one group

Calls can wait in a queue if they cannot be answered

Explanation:

The PS ring group has four (for KX-TDA50) or six (for KX-TDA100/KX-TDA200/KX-TDA600) members which are in range of two different CSs. When a call arrives, each CS uses one channel to ring all member PSs within its range.

The ICD group has one proprietary telephone (PT) member, as well as four (for KX-TDA50) or six (for KX-TDA100/KX-TDA200/KX-TDA600) PS members which are in range of two different CSs. When a call arrives, each CS uses both (for KX-TDA50) or all three (for KX-TDA100/KX-TDA200/KX-TDA600) of its channels to ring each of the member PSs within its range.
