Operation
6. Your port will be connected to the first available port in the group. If
all ports are presently connected, the APS-8/16M will respond with a
"BUSY" message.
7. It is only necessary to enter enough letters of the port name to
differentiate Hunt Group ports from other ports. Type an asterisk (*) to
represent the remaining characters in the port name. For example, to
connect your resident port to the first available port in a group of ports
named "SALES1", "SALES2", and "SALES3", the connect command can
be invoked as /C S* [Enter], providing no other port names begin with
the letter "S".
Hunt Group port names must be unique. Otherwise, ports with similar names
will also be included in the Hunt Group.
Hunt Group Example 1:
1. Ports 1 and 2 are configured as Modem Mode ports, and external modems
are installed at both ports. Port 1 is named "MODEM1" and Port 2 is
named "MODEM2".
2. Your resident port is Port 4. To connect to the first available external
Modem, access command mode and type /C MODEM* [Enter].
Hunt Group Example 2:
1. Ports 3, 4, and 5 are Any-to-Any Mode ports. All three ports are named
"SERVER".
2. Your resident port is Port 1, and you want to connect Port 2 to the first
available server, access command mode and type
/C 2 SERVER [Enter].
