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.

Click on the Add button to add the new group to the Directory.
