Example: 12345678*2 (up to four digit sub addresses are possible). - Page 109 Channel hunting is normally used in conjunction with PRI daisy chaining with TANDBERG systems in the daisy chain. If only TANDBERG systems are used in the daisy chain, default setting should be used, as these systems will find available B-channels automatically.
- Page 110 TANDBERG 8000 MXP In the example above, the system will start searching for available B-channels at channel 20, since Search is set to High and High Channel is set to 20. The system will not search for channels below 10, since Low Channel is set to 10. Furthermore if the user tries to make an 8 channel call, the call will be established with 6 channel, since Max Channels is set to 6.
