In this example ( Table 63, Station-Hunting chain — Example 2, on page 1676), extension 2 is the called
extension. Because extension 2 is busy, the system follows the station-hunting chain to find an idle
extension. The call is answered at extension 1.
In this example ( Table 64, Station-Hunting chain — Example 3, on page 1676), extension 2 is the called
extension. Because extension 2 is busy, the system follows the station-hunting chain to find an idle
extension. The system encounters extension 3 a second time without finding an idle station. The system
stops checking the station-hunting chain and returns busy tone to the caller. Notice that both extensions 5
and 2 link to extension 3.
