res
For a circular-pattern station hunt group, after the
initial round of advancing the call will be auto-
matically queued at the phone that was originally
called. If this is not possible because there is already
a call waiting, or because the class of service of the
phone to which the call was originally directed does
not allow automatic queuing, the caller will receive a
busy tone. If a call advances to the final member in the
group, that phone will continue ringing until the be-
ginning member is idle and will then advance to the
beginning member.
Linear Pattern
In a linear pattern, a call will advance from busy
phones, or from ringing phones with No-Answer Ad-
vance, until it reaches the phone set up as the last
member in the group and will not advance after that to
the phone set up as the first member.
For a linear-pattern pilot hunt group, if all the mem-
bers of the group are busy the call will then be placed
in a system queue until one of the members becomes
available. If no queue has been set up at the CBX, or
if all queue positions are occupied, the caller will re-
ceive a busy tone. If a call advances to the final mem-
ber in the group, that phone will ring until it is an-
swered.
Note
On CBX Release 6.3 and higher, the final member in
a linear-pattern pilot hunt group can forward calls to
any other call-forwarding destination.
For a linear-pattern station hunt group, after the call
has advanced to the last member and the last member
is busy, the caller will receive a busy tone. However,
if a call advances to the last member and the last mem-
ber is not busy, that phone will ring until it is an-
swered.
