What is a

...

channel group?

Channel groups are containers of channels - as the name suggests - and they normally reflect the type of line coming into your organisation and their groupings, e.g. ISDN 30, ISDN2, Analogue Fax lines etc.

...

When you first configure the system and your channels start to populate the Directory, the Discovered Channels folder is created automatically in the Directory. Its function is to pick up newly discovered channels and it should not be renamed or deleted. Once you have created your own groups, you can move channels from the Discovered Channels folder to the newly created ones. For information on how to move channels from one group to another, refer to the Moving a channel between two groups section.
