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
25PX or 50). DHGs support the following:
Modem pools
Dedicated lines for data service
A local host computer
A workstation that functions as a gateway on a LAN
For more information, see the "Planning Overview," earlier in this chapter. 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 770–791 and 7920–7929 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 Chapter 2, "Control Unit 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
