Ring Group Example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In our example we will have 4 extensions all ring at the same time until one of them pick up first.  Click the + to create a ring group.  Fill in the fields that are in **bold**.  In the Extension box type a number that is **NOT** allready created.  This new extention won't be in the extension list.  The strategy will be Simultaneous. Enter in the destination the 4 extensions 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004.
