What is a channel group?

A channel group is a container of individual channels and is normally named to reflect the type of channel it contains, such as ISDN30, ISDN2, Analogue, etc.

The Discovered Channels folder

A special channel group, Discovered Channels, is automatically created in TIM Plus to harvest hitherto-unknown channel information from the call data received from your telephone system. Over time, when all possible channels have been collected by the Discovered Channels folder, you can create your own channel groups based on the structure of your organisation, and move channels into these new groups.

Info

If you use synchronisation, such as Cisco AXL, you need not manually configure channel groups, since TIM Plus automatically imports channels from your telephone system, placing them in their respective groups.

Warning

When you are deleting a channel group, you are deleting all the information contained within that group, including all channels and the calls associated with those channels!

In the Channel properties window that will open, click on the Delete button to remove the user from the Directory; a confirmation will be required, to prevent users being deleted accidentally.
