The GROUP SETUP MENU provides for grouping sets of ISDN B-channels together. These sets may be hunt groups or
callback groups.
A hunt group phone number is defined by the ISDN service provider. This method of grouping the B-channels allows one
ISDN phone number to be used to establish connections from remote site devices to multiple B-channels on the central site
device. A group of single link protocol remote site devices may all dial in to the same ISDN phone number at the central site
and contend for a link connection. This greatly simplifies the configuration process.
By default, all B-channel links are initially configured to be in group 1. Group 1 is defined with multilink operation disabled.
Consideration: If this P1700 is configured with remote site callback enabled, (this router will place a return call when it
receives a prompting call from a remote site), then a callback group should be set up. A callback group is a grouping of one
(the primary ISDN call number) or two (primary and alternate) ISDN numbers that a remote site router may dial to trigger
the callback from this P1700. If a callback group is not set up, the callback would come from the first available ISDN link;
if this was not be the primary or alternate number used by the remote site router, the callback would be rejected by the
remote site
.
Note: this option appears only if the router has at least one ISDN U BRI or at least two ISDN S/T BRI modules installed
and the Logical ISDN Type is set to ISDN.
