Features
Basic Rate Interface (BRI)
A multiline hunt group consists of a group of BRI lines with one main telephone
number (Directory Number). When this number is dialed by an outside caller, the
central office tries to deliver the call to one of the BRI lines in the hunt group. If the
BRI line is busy, the central office directs the call to the next available idle line.
In order to know the available options of Multiline Hunt Group and to set it up
correctly, you must find out what type of switch your central office uses.
For the different switches, Multiline Hunt Group has the following capabilities:
5ESS
applications. Multiline Hunt capability is provided under a switch feature
called Series Completion . Do not use the 5ESS feature named Multiline
Hunt Group . For alternate voice and digital data applications, special
central office features (such as call forwarding) are also required in the line
provisioning. As a result, this configuration may not be supported by some
of the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) or other local carriers.
DMS-100. Multiline Hunt is available for voice-only, digital data-only, and
alternate voice and digital data applications.
EWSD. Multiline Hunt capability is provided under a switch feature called
Series Completion . It is limited to six DSLs in a group, however, and may
not be supported by some central offices. Do not use the EWSD feature
named Multiline Hunt Group . Multiline Hunt is available for voice-only and
digital data-only applications. Alternate voice and digital data applications
are not supported.
Called Party Number
In general, the term Called Party Number (CdPN) denotes a telephone number
that has been dialed to reach a destination. While routing the call, however, the
network can change the Called Party Number to make routing easier. In either
case, the network sends the Called Party Number to the system when a call
arrives at the system. Depending on the type of call, the called party number may
be displayed on the second page of the MLX or ETR telephone display.
NOTE:
Analog multiline and MLS telephones do not display Called Party Number
information.

NOTE:

needed, you must order the appropriate feature and inform the
central office of the switch settings that you need (see Appendix H of
System Planning ).
