To call multiple Security Center users at the
same time, you can create a user ring group by assigning a SIP extension to a Security Center user group.
What you should know
A user ring group is a
Security Center user
group that can only include
Security Center
users and other
Security Center user
groups.
Procedure
-
From the Config
Tool open the
User Management task.
-
Click User groups, and then select one from the
list.
-
Create a Security Center user group
that contains all of the users you that want in your ring group.
-
Click the VoIP tab.
The members of the user group appear in the Call
list field.
-
Assign a SIP extension to your ring group in one of the following ways:
- Click Auto-assign. Choose an existing range, and
then click Apply. This is the recommended
approach.
- Enter the SIP
extension. Enter the SIP entity's phone extension
manually.
-
In the Call recipients field, select one of the
following:
- All at once
- All members of a call list are called at the same time. The call
stops ringing when any one of the members within a call list answers the
call.
- Successively every
- Members are called in sequence, with a set delay between each call, in the order that
they appear in the call list. This sequence of calls is repeated until any one of the
members answers the call. If a member declines the call, the next member is called
immediately rather than after the set delay. The minimum delay is 10 seconds. Because it
might affect how long a call to a ring group goes unanswered, it is not recommended to
set a high delay.
-
(Optional) To change the order in which the members of the ring group are
called, use the arrow buttons to move the members up or down.
This is available only when Successively every is
selected.
-
Click Apply.
Example
The image below shows a user ring group with five
Security Center users, each with their own dedicated
extensions. The call sequence for this ring group is set at
Successively every 10
seconds. When the ring group extension (7002) is called, Charles' extension
(6001) is called first. If Charles does not respond within 10 seconds, Clive's extension
(6002) is called. The sequence continues until one of the members answers the
call.
