Groups
From Taridium
Call groups are designed to ring or deliver messages to multiple users/phones. Groups are not the same as Call Queues and don't offer login/logoff or true call queueing.
To access call groups click on Applications → Groups.

Ignore Call Forwarding
Ignores all SIP device controlled call forwarding requests. Examples include the use of the 'Forward' feature on a SIP phone.

Group Type
The group type specifies whether the group should be Ring only, Ring+Mailbox or a Mailbox Group.
Members
The group members indicate the users/channels and/or mailboxes which will be rung in this group. Please be aware of call forwarding settings on both phones and the ipbx End User Panel.
Group Members
The members of the group (Users). If you need to ring a different extension which is not a user, select other extension... this can be any number/extension that can be dialed from a phone.
Dial Type
The dial type indicates how to ring a specific extension:
- Primary Channel rings only the primary channel of a User
- All Channels rings all user associated channels (see Users)
- Extension rings the user in the same way as if called from another phone. This will take into account any End User Panel settings including voicemail, call forwarding, follow-me and other settings! Please note that this is independent of any forwarding settings configured on SIP phones.
Upon Timeout
Which action to take once the application times out or invalid input has been entered. This setting is only applicable to Ring only group types.
