Channel hunting is normally used in conjunction with PRI daisy-chaining with TANDBERG units in the daisy-chain. If only TANDBERG units are used in the daisy-chain, default setting should be used, as these units will find available B- channels automatically.

Max Channels may be used for PRIs that are provisioned for a lower number of channels.

Max Channels may be used as mechanism to ensure that there is bandwidth available to codecs further down the chain when Daisy-Chaining.

‘High Channel’, ‘Low Channel’ and ‘Search’ may be used for PRIs provisioned with specific requirements for B-channel usage.
