Chapter 2 - Digital Station Features

Hot Line/Ring Down

Digital key stations may be programmed to immediately call or ring down a particular station
or outside number upon going off hook. This is done by programming the stations Off-Hook
preference to activate a DSS or Speed dial feature key. This feature can be overridden if the
station user selects a CO line first when going off-hook.

Hunt Groups

The system can be arranged for up to eight Hunt groups. Each Hunt group can contain up to
eight stations each. Each Hunt group is independently arranged to utilize either a pilot
hunting technique or station hunting technique.

Chaining

Hunt Groups can be chained or joined together forming larger Hunt Groups. This is
accomplished by assigning a Pilot Hunt Group number as the last member of a group.

Pilot Hunting

Incoming CO, transferred CO, and intercom calls can be directed to a pilot extension number
of a Hunt group. The system searches sequentially (in the order the extensions were entered
in the database programming) for an idle station in the group and rings that station. Calls
directed to stations (by calling the extension number) within the Hunt group do not hunt but
receive call progress tones of the extension dialed.
The Pilot Hunting feature has the option to bypass the sequential search and to ring all idle
stations in the Hunt Group. This option can be enabled/disabled on a group basis.

Station Hunting

Transferred CO calls and intercom calls that are presented to a busy, or DND station, who is a
member of a station Hunt group, searches sequentially (in the order the extensions were
entered in database programming) for an idle station in the group and rings that station.
Direct ringing CO Line calls to the station number rings at the station. If station hunting is
desired on a direct ringing call, program the station hunting pilot number in the CO Line ring
assignment list. This allows the member of the hunt group to receive private calls and hunt
group calls.

ICLID / Caller ID

The ICLID (Incoming Calling Line IDentification) feature has been added to the
System. However, in order for this feature to operate properly, it must be activated from the
Central Office so that the numbers of the calling party is delivered over the individual tip and
ring of the CO lines during the first silent interval between ringing. The following features
have been implemented.
