Station Hunting - Circular S-7
S-7 Station Hunting - Circular
General Description
This feature permits a call to be processed automatically through a hunt group of busy extensions, in a programmed
order.
Operating Procedure
No manual operation is required.
Service Conditions
1. This feature can be activated via FCCS.
2. When all stations within a Circular Hunt Group are busy:
a.) If a call is terminated to a group does not have a Secretarial Station, the caller will receive a busy
tone.
b.) If a call is directed to a group that has a Secretarial Station, the call will be shifted to the
Secretarial Station. However, the caller will receive a busy tone when the Secretarial Station is
also busy.
3. Assignment of telephone numbers to a Circular Hunt Group may be in any order.
4. This feature will be activated whenever the hunt group is dialed by the Attendant or another station within
the system.
5. Calls to the first programmed station in a Circular Hunt Group will proceed through all other programmed
stations in the order they were programmed upon encountering a busy station, until reaching the last.
6. Calls directed to any other number in the Circular Hunt Group will proceed in the same manner as calls to
the first programmed number.
7. If a HUNT group station has set CALL FORWARDING-ALL CALLS [C-5], hunting will bypass that
station and continue in the order of hunting.
8. The maximum number of stations per group is 100.
9. Within the FCCS network, there is no limit for the number of Circular Hunt Groups.
10. If a Phantom Number is assigned to the pilot number, hunting may or may not occur when the Phantom
Number is dialed, depending on system data.
11. In a Circular Hunt Group, one station can be designated as a secretarial station, thereby always being the
last station in the hunting sequence.
12. CALL FORWARDING-BUSY LINE [C-2]/ALL CALLS [C-5] are activated first rather than STATION
HUNTING-CIRCULAR, if the dialed station has set this feature.
13. The terminating sequence of service features to a station is as follows:
CALL FORWARDING - ALL CALLS [C-5]
CALL FORWARDING - BUSY LINE [C-2]
STATION HUNTING [S-7, 8, 9]
CALL WAITING - ORIGINATING [C-31]
CALL WAITING - TERMINATING [C-12]
14. Recall from CALL BACK [C-1], OUTGOING TRUNK QUEUING [O-2] and PAGING TRANSFER [P-
10] will not hunt.
15. A station can belong to only one hunt group (either Circular or Terminal).
