Multi-Company Variant

Configuring the Multi-Company Variant

115

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-

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).

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 
licen

se confirmation you received with the program package contains all the infor-

mation you require about how to proceed.
