| Hunting
(Rollover Lines) |
|
Hunting
(Rollover Lines) is placed on individual telephone lines that make
up a group, also known as a hunt group. Hunt groups are a series of lines
organized in such a way that if the first line is busy, the next line is hunted
and so on until a free line is found. There are two types of hunting, serial
and circular.
Serial: Serial hunting
searches for available lines from the top of the group down. Each incoming call
always starts at the top of this group and is rolled to an available line in
that hunt group. If the call reaches the last line in the hunt group sequence,
it does NOT roll to the first line in the hunt group.
*Note: The last line in a serial hunt group does not need
hunting because the last line does NOT roll to the first line in the hunt
group.
Circular: In Circular
hunting, the switch has the ability to remember the last line it connected, and
starting there, it hunts down to the next available line. Once the last line in
the hunt group is reached, it rolls to the top or the first line in the hunt
group. It does NOT continue to roll after completion of loop. Essentially, the
available lines are searched for in a circle.
*Note: All lines in the hunt group MUST have hunting on them
because Circular hunting rolls to the top or first line again.
