13.1.27 PS Ring Group
ICD Groups vs. PS Ring Groups
Assigning PSs to either an ICD group or a PS ring group will allow multiple PSs to receive group calls
simultaneously. The differences between the two are highlighted below:
Members can ring simultaneously when a call is received
Calls can be distributed to member extensions using different
methods
The CS is less likely to be busy; ringing all member PSs uses
only one CS channel
Members can log-in, log-out, and use Wrap-up time, ICD
Group button
Both PTs and PSs can belong to the same group
Each member can belong to more than one group
Calls can wait in a queue if they cannot be answered

Explanation:
The PS ring group has four (for KX-TDA50) or six (for KX-TDA100/KX-TDA200/KX-TDA600) members which
are in range of two different CSs. When a call arrives, each CS uses one channel to ring all member PSs within
its range.
The ICD group has one proprietary telephone (PT) member, as well as four (for KX-TDA50) or six (for
KX-TDA100/KX-TDA200/KX-TDA600) PS members which are in range of two different CSs. When a call
arrives, each CS uses both (for KX-TDA50) or all three (for KX-TDA100/KX-TDA200/KX-TDA600) of its
channels to ring each of the member PSs within its range.
