Nortel Networks 6.1 manual General System features, Disconnect supervision, Hunt Groups

General System features

The following features are available for the entire Norstar system.

Disconnect supervision

When Disconnect Supervision is assigned to a line, the Norstar system monitors it to detect if an external caller hangs up. This allows the system to release the line for other uses. Your installer or customer service representative assigns disconnect supervision.

Hunt Groups

Your Norstar system now allows you to establish Hunt Groups. Hunt Groups are a group of Norstar or BST telephones that can be called by a single directory number. The Hunt Groups feature ensures calls are easily routed to the appropriate people.

You can also monitor hunt group calls using the Silent Monitoring feature.

For more information about Hunt Groups see ‘‘Programming Hunt Groups’’ on page 171.

Internal numbers

Each telephone in the Norstar system has its own internal number. The length of internal numbers in your system can be from two to seven digits. All numbers in your system are the same length. Your installer or customer service representative sets the length of internal numbers (called the DN length).
