You can assign a group identifier number to a community of IP phone users in an organization. The group identifier number ranges from 0 to 999. The default number is 0.
With a group identifier, you can apply a specific subset of configuration to a group of J100 devices within a settings file configuration. For example, you can group users by time zones or work activities. For more information about using the 46xxsettings.txt file to configure Group, see Contents of the settings file.
You can configure the group identifier value using one of the following methods:
  • The local administration process using the phone UI.
  • The phone web interface.
  • System Manager and Communication Manager through Personal Profile Manager (PPM).
Note:
After you set the Group identifier number to a non-zero value, to reset to zero, do one of the following:
  • Reset the phone to default.
  • Reset the value from the original source.
    For example, if you set a non-zero GROUP value in the phone web interface, reset the value to zero in the phone web interface.
