Hunt Mode
This command determines how the TLS-4A will respond when more than one
line is programmed with the same number, in effect setting up a “hunt
group”. In a hunt group, when a dialed line is busy, the system will attempt to
ring other lines in the group until it finds an available line. For more
information, see Chapter 2. There are four options:
This feature is activated from the line making the call and must be
programmed on each line that makes calls in hunt mode.
Program the lines between which you want to hunt with the same number,
either first or second.
Note:
All numbers in a hunt group must be programmed in the same number
type: they must all be first or second numbers.
For example: To setup a hunt group consisting of Lines 3 and 4, enter *03# to
select Line 3.
*12# 789#, second number is 789
*04#, select Line 4
*12# 789#, second number is 789
Note:
If you pick up one of the phones in the hunt group and place a call to
the hunt group number, the next higher line will ring. If you pick up the
phone on Line 3 from the hunt group in the above example and call 789,
Line 4 will ring.

To disable hunt mode so that the TLS-4A will only attempt to ring the first
line that has this number, enter:

To cause the TLS-4A to ring simultaneously all lines programmed with
this number. The first line to answer will be connected; all others will
revert to normal operation
