Use
Incoming calls are signalled in parallel to all signed-on enquiry
stations. If the enquiry stations are busy, the incoming call joins
the queue on each of the terminals in the hunt group. If one of the
enquiry stations accepts a call from the queue, the call is removed
from the queues of all the other enquiry stations. The display at
each enquiry station (Forum Phone 535) indicates how full the
queue is.
If attendants leave the station, they sign off from the hunt group
by means of a feature key. In contrast to Example 1, further calls
do not have to be processed after the sign-off, as the calls are
also registered in the queues of the other signed-on enquiry sta-
tions.
Note: The last enquiry station remaining in the hunt group should
not sign off, so that incoming calls can always be signalled to at
least one station.
