User Groups
AastraLink Pro supports the ability for the Administrator to choose a subset of IP
phone extensions which operate together as a group. Groups may be associated
with unique configuration for incoming call routing, and have their own voicemail
and 'virtual extension' number, which is entirely separate from the extension
number of the users IP phone.
phone extensions which operate together as a group. Groups may be associated
with unique configuration for incoming call routing, and have their own voicemail
and 'virtual extension' number, which is entirely separate from the extension
number of the users IP phone.
Each IP phone may be a member of zero or more groups, and can overlap between
multiple separate groups - for example, groups may have different membership
lists, with or without any users common between two specific groups. The only
provisioning restriction is that each group must have at least one IP phone as a
member at all times.

Dial Plan for User Groups
You can configure the user group’s list of extensions to ring at the same time. This
feature is a local extension of the dialing plan for your network. A dial plan
describes the number and pattern of digits that a user dials to reach a particular
telephone number. The AastraLink Pro 160 uses a dial plan number (65) that
specifically identifies a phone number as a User Group phone number. The “6”
provides feature access, and the “5” is used for Call/User Groups. (For a table of
dial plan numbers, see Chapter 4,

The AastraLink prepends the “65” to the User Groups’s extension (for example,
655200, where “65” is the dial plan for the User Group, and “5200”is the virtual
extension number for the User Group).
