HP R4.2 Groups to Channels

again at the beginning. Consequently, the caller could receive a busy signal even though there might be other idle channels that are in service.

Ideally, the switch should use all inserv channels before attempting to use any MANOOS channels. You can force the switch to use inserv channels before using MANOOS channels by requesting a switch hunting pattern that always scans for idle channels starting at the beginning of the hunt group. On a 4ESS switch, for example, this is achieved by requesting a “trunk hunt without memory.” You can then limit the number of simultaneous incoming calls by placing the least-used channels (channels at the end of the hunt group) into the MANOOS state. A new call is routed to a channel that is in the MANOOS state only if all inserv channels are being used.

Manoos E1/T1 Channels

When all channels on a E1/T1 circuit card are in the MANOOS state, the circuit card generates a BLUE alarm to the switch. Calls are not routed to any of the channels on that E1/T1 circuit card.

Groups to Channels

The Groups to Channel menu option allows you to assign and unassign channels to one or more equipment groups. For example, an equipment group can be dedicated to outbound call bridging so that bridging does not interfere with incoming calls.
