Virtual Extension Numbers (for Ring and Paging Groups)
Groups use virtual extension numbers which may have any length of numeric
digits from 1 to 20. Although most customers may choose to use 1 or 2 digit
numbers for group virtual extensions to keep their dial plan reasonable for callers,
longer digit strings can be useful for 'name dialling'. To dial a Group’s virtual
extension, it is necessary to dial the 65 (Ring Group) or 66 (Paging Group) before
the virtual extension number.
For example, if a Ring Group’s virtual extension is 10, the group can be reached
by dialling 6510 from a SIP phone, the IVR, etc. An example for a name dialling
could be '65+PIZZA' with the corresponding virtual extension of 'PIZZA' being
74992.
In the illustration below, a Ring Group and Paging Group were created.
