Group Coverage 4
In Group Coverage, senders are organized into groups, and calls received by any
member of the group are sent to a receiver.
Any type of telephone (excluding QCCs) can be a member of a coverage group;
however, no individual sender can be a member of more than one group. A
maximum of 32 coverage groups can be set up, and there is no limit to the
number of senders in each group. Three types of receivers can be programmed:
calling groups, or the QCC queue and/or multiline telephones.
NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:
Group Coverage can be used alone or can be set up to work with either pri-
mary or secondary Individual Coverage, or both. This allows callers to get
personal attention from the primary and/or secondary Individual Coverage
receiver and backup from Group Coverage. For example, a receiver such
as a secretary can have a Primary Cover button to provide Individual Cov-
erage for a sender who is also a member of a coverage group.
