Trunk Group Status Display
Trunk Group Status Display is an optional feature that lets you monitor
traffic on the system. During peak traffic periods, some users could
experience problems making external calls and may contact you to
find out why. The Trunk Group Status Display feature enables you to
confirm excessive traffic as the most likely cause. You can then tell
users that the situation is temporary and suggest that they try making
their calls later.
You can display traffic information by specifying trunk group numbers
or the digits dialed to access them—for example, the digit 9.
The use of this feature does not disrupt call processing.

1. Press Trunk Status.
2. Select Search by group number.
3. Enter the starting trunk group number, and then
press [Search].
The displays show a list of the trunk groups, the number of trunks
in each group, and the number of those trunks currently in use
—for example,
The Timestamp shows the time of your last search.
