A ring group is a collection of users (devices) that ring in a coordinated sequence. They could either be an organizational department such as sales, or it could be a set of users whose job it is to answer the phone. In setting up the system you may have already selected a set of users for ring groups. This page shows you how to create new ring groups or change who is in a ring group.
The inbound call section will show you how to point a phone number either internal or an external phone number at this group.
