Magix: Is it possible to setup an extension that will ring all phones?

[MISAdmin]

We have issues with people being able to get a hold of someone in the office after hours. I was asked if we could setup an extension to give to a few vendors and other people that, if they rang that extension, it would ring every phone in the building (about 80 handsets)

I was thinking I could create an adjunct extension then set it as primary coverage on every phone, but I guess I'm limited to how many phones I can link coverage to for an extension? (I think it only let me assign it to like 6 or 8 phones before it stopped letting me do it.)

Anyone have a better solution?

use a calling group

If you don't have all ring as a group type on your release, loop a T/R to a CO, assign that CO to all of the phones, and dial that T/R extension after hours.

What Tommy is referring to is called a "LOOP AROUND".

Here's a rather crude diagram:

CORD
T&R PORT ---------> CO LINE PORT

Program the CO LINE PORT to what ever extensions you want to ring.

The Loop Around technique that Merlinman and Tommy have proposed also works well with external door phones.

If it ain't broke, I haven't fixed it yet.

if you have paging then a night bell might be a good option. you put the night bell to an analog ext and the from the auto attendant you dial the ext and then the other person does a #9 and the ext number to pickup the call.

Actually, loop arounds work well for a lot of situations, both on Legend/Magix and on Partners(you can do it there too)
