Ring Group Examples
Ring groups define a set of extensions (people) that answer calls. Ring groups can be
created for departments (e.g., Sales or Engineering) or business regions (e.g., north,
south, etc.), or areas of a business (e.g., a warehouse or plant floor). These ring groups
can appear on an Automated Attendant (menu). When the group option is selected from
an Automated Attendant Menu, the call is routed to the group. Calls will be distributed to
the members in the group based upon the ring strategy for the group.
