Dataport Hunting
553-2731-100
Standard 5.00
The Dataport Hunting (DPH) feature improves the hunting and ring again
operations for modem pooling.
Before this feature was introduced, dataports were defined as stations in the
software. To establish a pool of dataports, the stations were connected in a
hunt chain. The maximum number of dataports which could be accessed
under a single DN were limited by the maximum number of hunt steps for that
software generic. If all members in the chain were busy, the calling party
could only apply ring again against one station in the chain and might not be
notified when the other dataports in the pool became idle.
The Dataport Hunting feature organizes the dataports into ADM trunk type
routes and hunts the dataports as trunks.
A maximum of 128 dataports can be grouped under a single access code (with
an option to step to another similar ADM route). If all members of a route are
busy, the calling party may apply Ring Again and be notified when ever the
first route number becomes idle.
A dataport is configured by connecting either
•
a modem capable of auto answer to one unit of a 500 line card (QPC60)
or
•
a stand-alone ADM in the auto-answer mode to a data unit of a DLC
(QPC311).
During day service only, an attendant can transfer incoming calls to dataport
groups. During night service, any station can transfer calls to dataport groups.
Provision Modems and stand-alone ADM are assigned to the Dataport
Hunting feature with Overlay Programs 16 and 14.
