Creating Data Hunt Groups

Creating Data Hunt Groups
Use these instructions if the system has a group of modems or ISDN terminal
adapters.
DHGs are data calling groups that provide uniform call distribution among a group
of modems or a group of ISDN terminal adapters (such as the Ascend Pipeline 25
or 50). DHGs support the following:
Modem pools
Dedicated lines for data service
A local host computer
Workstation that functions as a gateway on a LAN
For more information, see the
to Equipment and Operations. For information on modem pools, see application
note, MERLIN LEGEND Communications System Modem Pooling.

Guidelines

Use the following guidelines for the procedure in this section:
Members of a DHG must be extension jacks of the same type: all analog or
all MLX.
You can assign up to 32 DHGs or calling groups, or a combination of both
types. Each DHG can have a maximum of 20 members and each data
station can be a member of only one DHG.
You can designate particular lines/trunks or pools (Hybrid/PBX mode only)
to ring directly into a DHG. However, incoming calls on a given line/trunk
can be directed to only one DHG.
Extension numbers 770 through 791 and 7920 through 7929 are reserved
automatically for calling groups and DHGs. If you want to change the
extension numbers assigned to a DHG, see the information about
reassigning extension numbers described in
Configuration''. The same considerations apply to data stations and voice
extensions.
Forms Needed
Form 2a, System Numbering: Extension Jacks
Form 2c, System Numbering: Line/Trunk Jacks
If the system has trunk pools, Hybrid/PBX mode only, Form 2c, System
Numbering: Line/Trunk Jacks
If the system includes voice calling groups, Form 7d, Group Calling
If you plan to renumber the factory-set extensions, Form 2d, System
Numbering: Special Renumbers
