Siemens 600 Series, 300 Series manual Linear Pattern

For a circular-pattern station hunt group, after the initial round of advancing the call will be auto- matically queued at the phone that was originally called. If this is not possible because there is already a call waiting, or because the class of service of the phone to which the call was originally directed does not allow automatic queuing, the caller will receive a busy tone. If a call advances to the final member in the group, that phone will continue ringing until the be- ginning member is idle and will then advance to the beginning member.

Linear Pattern

In a linear pattern, a call will advance from busy phones, or from ringing phones with No-Answer Ad- vance, until it reaches the phone set up as the last member in the group and will not advance after that to the phone set up as the first member.

For a linear-pattern pilot hunt group, if all the mem- bers of the group are busy the call will then be placed in a system queue until one of the members becomes available. If no queue has been set up at the CBX, or if all queue positions are occupied, the caller will re- ceive a busy tone. If a call advances to the final mem- ber in the group, that phone will ring until it is an- swered.

Note

On CBX Release 6.3 and higher, the final member in a linear-pattern pilot hunt group can forward calls to any other call-forwarding destination.

For a linear-pattern station hunt group, after the call has advanced to the last member and the last member is busy, the caller will receive a busy tone. However, if a call advances to the last member and the last mem- ber is not busy, that phone will ring until it is an- swered.
