To reduce glare probability, the network needs to be administered so both sides of the interface select
channels from opposite ends of facilities. For example, on a 23B+D trunk group, the user side could be
administered to select B-channels starting at channel 23 while the network side would be administered to
start selecting at channel 1. Using the same example, if channel 22 is active but channel 23 is idle, the
user side should select channel 23 for re-use. This is known as linear trunk hunt and is the hunt option
used by Communication Manager for wideband.

these calls.
Outgoing calls (to user) stay up
and possibly stay up if other
