Ringing on Mitel 5000 5.1 LS lines

[Crowtalks]

I have installed several of these cool system, all with PRIs and DIDs. I am faced with a couple of installs where the customer wants the 5000 5.1 to emulate the key system they are replacing, IE, line appearance on phones with the 4 lines ringing to 2 phones up front.

I have assigned trunk appearance keys to the 8568 sets...is there a better way to get the lines to ring to the 2 phones than assigning those two extensions to an extension group? For key system applications I came from the Nortel plastic world where it was a toggle selection to ring or not...

Thanks, Jim

Nope, the way you have it setup is pretty much the only way you can do it on the 5000. It has nothing like the Nortel appear and ring type settings.
