# (Optional) Create a Survivability Distribution Group

After confirming the ZPLS modules are operational within their account, account admins are encouraged to create Survivability Distribution Groups (SDGs) to provide additional call routing configurations for a survivability event.

{% hint style="info" %}
Some functionalities described within this section — like routing an SDG to a phone number — require a configured BYOC-PSTN integration. If your account requires PSTN functionality for your SDGs, you are encouraged to skip this section until you have successfully integrated your BYOC-PSTN connection with your account, described [later within this document](#_7cphf3qmfx9).
{% endhint %}

To create a Survivability Distribution Group, perform the following steps:

1. Sign into the Zoom web portal.
2. Under the **Phone System Management**sub-menu, select **Company Info**.
3. **Locate the name of the site**you assigned the ZPLS module to and **click the site name**.
4. On the following screen, click the **Settings** tab displayed under the site’s name.

8. On the following screen, click the **Edit** button next to the SDG you just created.
9. Create the call routing logic for your SDG.

{% hint style="info" %}
Survivability Distribution Groups follow a similar logic for configuration as a call queue. Users are encouraged to review Zoom’s support center for assistance on [configuring settings](https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb\&sysparm_article=KB0065370) for an SDG.
