The GROUP System Value
You might have different communities of users, all of which have the same telephone model, but
which require different administered settings. For example, you might want to group users by
time zones or work activities.
Use the GROUP system value for this purpose:
1. identify which telephones are associated with which group, and designate a number for
each group. The number can be any integer from 0 to 999, with 0 as the default, meaning
your largest group is assigned as Group 0.
2. At each non-default telephone, instruct the installer or user to invoke the GROUP Craft
Local procedure as specified in the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone Edition for 9600 SIP IP
Telephones Installation and Maintenance Guide and specify which GROUP number to use.
The GROUP System value can only be set on a phone-by-phone basis.
3. Once the GROUP assignments are in place, edit the configuration file to allow each
telephone of the appropriate group to download its proper settings.
Here is an example of a settings file with associates in different groups at the same
location:
IF $GROUP SEQ 1 goto GROUP1
IF $GROUP SEQ 2 goto GROUP2
{specify settings unique to Group 0}
goto END
# GROUP1
{specify settings unique to Group 1}
goto END
# GROUP2
{specify settings unique to Group 2}
# END
{specify settings common to all Groups}
