Group Programming; Associating Lines With Groups Or Extensions For Incoming Ringing - BT Versatility V16 Owner's Manual

If all the Extensions in a Group activate 'Do Not Disturb' the call is presented to
Extension 20. Extension 20 cannot activate Do Not Disturb.
If the group is Busy and no extensions are logged in, the call is queued to the group and
Call Waiting is presented to all the Busy Extensions in the Group with 'Tone Protection'
turned off.
If the group is busy a programmable option is provided so that the call can either be
rejected or Call Waiting presented. See the 'Accept on Busy' Option in ISDN
programming in the Line Programming section.
Note: Linear Hunting is when calls are always presented to the first available Extension in the Group.
Circular Hunting is when calls are always presented to the next available Extension in the Hunt Group.
Longest Idle is when calls are presented so that they are evenly distributed to all Extensions in the group.
Calls are presented to the free Extension with the longest time interval after handling an incoming call.

Group Programming

This option is used to allocate Extensions and the Central Bell to groups and to designate
the type of group: a Ring Group or Hunt Group. When a Group is programmed it can be
associated with Lines, Accesses, MSN, DDI or CLI numbers and the Door Intercom. If a
Group is programmed and no Lines, Accesses, MSN, DDI or CLI numbers or Door Intercom
are associated with it, it is an Internal Group. A total of 20 Groups can be programmed. The
first Group is programmed with Extensions 20-27 at Power Up. A maximum of 16 Extensions
or 15 Extensions and the Central Bell can be programmed for a Group.
All groups can be called from other Extensions.
