Figure 4-8. Hunt groups for a MAX stack handling only MP-without-BACP calls
MP+ calls and MP calls with or without BACP
For a MAX unit that receives MP+ calls and MP calls with or without BACP, you can use a
configuration similar to the one shown in Figure 4-8. In this case, however, you set up the
global hunt group differently than explained in "MP+ and MP-with-BACP calls." You set up
the global hunt group to help prevent MP-without-BACP calls from being split across multiple
MAX units in the stack. As in "MP without BACP" on page 4-48 calls dialing 555-1215 first
completely fill the channels of MAX #1, then continue to MAX #2, and so on.
Both MP+ and MP callers dial the global hunt group number to connect to the stack.
MP+ and MP-with-BACP callers do not have to dial the global hunt group numbers to connect.
Only the MP-without-BACP callers need to dial the global hunt group. You can achieve an
even distribution of MP+ and MP-with-BACP calls by having one third dial 555-1212, one
third dial 555-1213, and one third dial 555-1214. You can leave the Ch N # parameters at their
default setting (null) in this situation.

Description
Enables the MAX unit to communicate with other members of the
same stack. A unit can belong to only one stack. All members of the
stack use the same stack name and UDP port.
Specifies a stack name. Add a MAX unit to an existing stack by
specifying that name. Create a new stack by specifying a new stack
name.
Stacked MAX units communicate with other members of the stack by
using a directed-broadcast Ethernet packet on the specified UDP port.
Because directed-broadcast packets are unlikely to cross a router, and
because of the high traffic demands created by a multilink call that
spans MAX units, all members of a stack must reside on the same
physical LAN.
