Prerequisites:

Step 1: Accessing Group Settings

  1. Log in to your Panasonic PBX system.
  2. On the left-hand side, navigate to "351 Group Incoming Call Distribution Group Settings."

Step 2: Configuring Group Settings

  1. Change the default group range to a desired number (e.g., 6090).

  3. Proceed to the "Members List" section to add extension numbers to the group.

Step 3: Adding Extension Numbers

  1. Add extension numbers starting from 101 to the list (e.g., 101, 102, 103, etc.).

Step 4: Setting Ring Parameters

  1. On the right-hand side, configure how the extensions will ring (immediately, after a delay, in a specific order, etc.).
  2. Adjust the ring delay timing as needed (e.g., one ring delay is approximately five seconds in Panasonic systems).

Step 5: Configuring Trunk Settings

  1. Go to "Incoming Call Trunk Setup" and select the appropriate trunk type (PSTN, ISDN, or VoIP).
  2. Fill in the ICD group number (e.g., 6090) in the corresponding columns for all modes.
  3. Click "OK" to save the settings.

Step 6: Sending Calls to the Group

  1. Assign the incoming calls to the configured ICD group.
  2. Ensure the correct extension (6090) is set up to receive the calls.

Step 7: Saving and Logging Out

  1. Save the configuration settings.
  2. Remember to log out of the system to avoid being timed out.

Additional Tips:

  • Double-check the extension numbers and settings before saving.
