12.1 Configuring the Multi-Company Variant
The multi-company variant can be commissioned and configured by the system
administrator of the Aastra 800 without any major effort. In the multi-company
variant, the communications system behaves in exactly the same way as the
single-company variant. This is particularly of interest to users who want to
expand their own system and at the same time operate it in a group.
The process in brief:
1. The feature must be activated (see Activating the Multi-Company Variant
starting on page 115).
2. The required companies must be set up (see Configuring and Managing Com-
panies starting on page 116).
3. The users of the Aastra 800 are assigned to the individual companies (see
Assigning Users starting on page 116).
4. In order that the Aastra 800 can transfer incoming calls to the corresponding
company (or its staff) correctly, the existing bundles must be uniquely
assigned to the companies (see Assigning a Bundle/SIP Trunk starting on
page 117).
5. In the case of outgoing external calls, the lines via which the members of a
company can make a call must be defined (see Allocating Routing Codes
starting on page 117).
6. An exchange must be set up for each company so that the Aastra 800 can cor-
rectly process statuses in which a call should be routed to the exchange (see
Configuring the Company Exchange starting on page 118).
12.1.1 Activating the Multi-Company Variant
To be able to configure several companies in the Aastra 800, the “Multi-company
variant” (OpenCompany 45) program package must first be activated. This is done
in the Configurator on the Web console in the System: Licences menu. The
license confirmation you received with the program package contains all the infor-
mation you require about how to proceed.
