The system supports hunt groups for logical grouping . A hunt group is a list
of traffic channels and could span multiple nodes. One or more directory
numbers can address all the channels in a hunt group.
• If a user dials a directory number that identifies a hunt group, the system
searches for an available traffic channel in the group to which the call is
then awarded.
♦ Multiple channel search options are available including forward,
reverse, and always from the beginning (pack).
• The hunt groups also can be used for providing redundancy by having
additional modems configured in the hunt group.
♦ If one of the modem fails, the system selects another modem in
that hunt group when a new call is placed to that hunt group.
• Figure 5-7 illustrates a sample Hunt Group Details screen.
