Broadcast —simultaneously rings at each non-busy telephone in
the hunt group. All telephones receiving the call also display the
calling line identification from the line, if the telephone or line has
been configured to offer that service. Any of the alerted
telephones can access the call.

the call load to be continuously spread across the entire member
group.
