HOW THE LINE HUNTER WORKS
The Line Hunter has been designed to provide effective call processing functionality for two
applications. First and foremost, it is a powerful call processor that handles both i nbound and
outbound traffic seamlessly. Feature-rich and robust, The Line Hunter excels as a workhorse
built for high-traffic commercial environments. The second function is designed for
applications where inbound traffic routing is not important.
2-IN-1 FUNCTIONALITY: The Line Hunter is a versatile 4-Line Call Processor that
effectively handles two processing functions:
- FUNCTION 1 - FULL FUNCTION: Precision Inbound Call Routing AND Outbound
Line Hunting
- FUNCTION 2 - Outbound Line Hunting Only: Emphasis on Out-going Traffic.
NO CALL ROUTING CAPABILITIES. Calls will only be directed to the PRIMARY LINE PORT
ONLY (Ports l, 4, 7 ,10).
FUNCTION 1 - FULL FUNCTIONALITY PRECISION INBOUND ROUTING and OUTBOUND
HUNTING - The benefit of this configuration is that all 12 ports can have a unique telephone number
(address) allowing the Line Hunter (using Selective Ring Service from Local Telephone Service Provider) to
precisely route incoming calls to a particular device. All telecommunications devices attached to ports on the
Line Hunter will hunt for an available telephone line. NOTE: Selective Ring Service (3 telephone numbers per
li ne: 2 Selective Rings) MUST be ordered for each line for the precision inbound routing functionality.
ROUTING - The Line Hunter is a four line call processor that uses the "Selective Ring" service provided by the
phone company to route calls to the proper port.
Each phone line is assigned a "master" phone number and
up to two other unique phone numbers that will ring in a distinctive pattern when a phone call addressed to the
specific number comes in. For line 1, a single burst ring will ring device l, a double burst ring will ring device
2, and a triple burst ring will ring device 3. The same ring sequence is followed by Lines 2,3, and 4.
The "Selective Ring" service goes by different names depending on the telephone company - Custom Ring
by
U.S. West, Smart Ring
by
GTE, Ring Master
by
Southwestern Bell, Call Identification Service
by
Ameritech, Ident-a
Ring
by
Verizon, etc. These 'ring management' services all work in the same manner. Up to three different
telephone numbers can be requested from the phone company. The numbers ring through a single line coming
into the business or residence and each number can be distinguished by the pattern of the ring. These ring
patterns are made up of various combinations of ring bursts.
Example of the different ring patterns:
Original Telephone Number- Regular Ring
Second Telephone Number - 2 Rings (Short Burst - Short Burst)
Third Telephone Number - 3 Rings (Short Burst - Short Burst - Long Burst)
NOTE: Each Service Provider has its own ring cadence identification.
The Line Hunter can be connected to up to 12 independent telecommunications devices. Each device has its
own unique telephone number. The Line Hunter rapidly routes incoming calls to the appropriate device.
