    Flexible Numbering Plan
    Description
    The System provides flexible numbering for feature access special numbers and extension numbers.
    The dialing plan allows settings for digits dialed at dial tone, digits dialed at ringback tone, digits 
    dialed at busy tone, two patterns of feature codes dialed at dial tone, two patterns of feature codes 
    dialed at ringback tone, and two patterns of feature codes dialed at busy tone.
    Feature access codes can be used when replacing another PBX system with a DBS 576 system. Rather 
    than learning the new access codes, the System feature access codes can be changed to match the old 
    system. As a result, telephone users are less confused by the change and the requirement for retraining 
    is reduced. Two sets of feature access codes are available (one of the two must be assigned to the 
    terminal).

    Hunting Groups
    Description
    Hunting allows calls to be automatically transferred among a preselected group of phones. If a phone 
    is busy or there is no answer in a set amount of time, the call will hunt to the next phone in the hunt 
    group.
    A phone assigned to a hunt group is called a member. Up to 20 members can be assigned to a hunt 
    group. Up to 12 hunt groups are available per cabinet.
    Several methods of station hunting are available. Some methods require use of a pilot number (a 
    fictitious extension number) while others start by a direct call to a hunt group member. 
    The System supports the following hunting groups:
    • Pilot Terminal Hunt Group
    • Pilot Distributed Hunt Group
    • Switch Back Hunt Group
    • Circular Hunt Group
    • Next Extension/Hunt Group
    Pilot Terminal Hunt Group
    Pilot Terminal Hunt Group directs calls to a pilot number. The System begins with the first member 
    and hunts through the group for the first available member to receive the call. If no member is 
    available (extension is busy or there is no answer for a specified amount of time), the call is queued 
    for the first member to become available. You can also set the Queuing Timer to specify how long the 
    System will search the initial hunt group before beginning to search the next hunt group or extension.
    The main advantage of this type of hunting is that the same hunting order is taken for all calls. This is 
    useful in presenting calls to selected members first.

    576-13-700 DBS 576 (USA), Revised 6/11/98  47
    Pilot Distributed Hunt Group
    Pilot Distributed Hunt Group directs calls to a pilot number. The System reviews who received the 
    last call and begins hunting with the next member. If the last member in the group is reached and no 
    member is available, the hunt continues with the first member and proceeds forward. After a complete 
    search and no available member is found (extension is busy or there is no answer for a specified 
    amount of time), the call is queued for the first member to become available. You can also set the 
    Queuing Timer and specify how the long the System will search the initial hunt group before 
    beginning to search the next hunt group or extension.
    The main advantage of this type of hunting is that calls are evenly distributed throughout the group.
    Switch Back Hunt Group
    Switch Back Hunt Group initiates hunting in a specified group for calls made to a member extension 
    in the group. If the called member of the hunt group is busy, the System begins hunting forward to the 
    end of the group. If no member is available, the system hunts backward
     from the called member. If no 
    member is available (extension is busy or there is no answer for a specified amount of time), the call 
    is queued for the first member to become available. You can also set the Queuing Timer and specify 
    how the long the System will search the initial hunt group before beginning to search the next hunt 
    group or extension. 
    The main advantage of this type of hunting is that calls can be directed to start with a selected portion 
    of the hunting group based on the directed number. However, all members are eventually searched.
    Circular Hunt Group
    Circular Hunt Group initiates hunting in a specified group for calls made to a member extension in the 
    group. If the called member of the hunt group is busy, the System begins hunting forward to the end of 
    the group and then moves forward
     from the first member of the group. If no member is available 
    (extension is busy or there is no answer for a specified amount of time), the call is queued for the first 
    member to become available. You can also set the Queuing Timer and specify how the long the 
    System will search the initial hunt group before beginning to search the next hunt group or extension. 
    The main advantage of this type of hunting is that calls can be directed to start with a selected portion 
    of the hunting group based on the directed number. However, all members are eventually searched.
    Next Extension/Hunt Group
    Next Extension/Hunt Group lets you specify which extension or hunt group to search after the 
    Queuing Timer expires. This hunt group can be set as any type of hunt group, an attendant group, or 
    an extension (including virtual extensions).

    Considerations
    • If a member of the hunt group has Do-Not-Disturb (DND) or Call Forwarding - All set, that 
    phone is temporarily removed from the hunt group.
    • If a member of the hunt group has Call Forwarding - Busy set and the extension is busy, the call 
    goes to the next phone in the hunt group.
    • If all members are busy for the duration of the busy queuing timer, the call can be forwarded to 
    another hunt group or another extension.
    • A hunt group can contain both real extensions and virtual extensions. If virtual, several phones 
    can be made to ring at the same time.
    • The pilot number for a hunt group is flexible (i.e., any extension number can be designated as the 
    pilot [not a real extension]).
    • Hunt groups support the following call types:
    •   Direct Inward Dialing (DID) / Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) / Direct 
    Dial Inward (DDI)
    •   Direct Inward System Access (DISA)

    MCO Tenant Group
    Description
    When the System is configured for tenant operation, MCO Tenant Group determines which trunks 
    groups are used for incoming and outgoing calls.  
    						
    							Section 700 - Operation Chapter 3. System Features
    576-13-700 DBS 576 (USA), Revised 6/11/98  49
    Each MCO trunk group is assigned to an MCO tenant group for incoming calls and for outgoing calls. 
    By default, Trunk Group 1 is assigned to MCO Tenant Group 1, Trunk Group 2 is assigned to MCO 
    Tenant Group 2, etc. for both incoming and outgoing calls. 
    For outgoing calls, each tenant group has 5 auto-trunk selections available. By default the first auto-
    trunk selection is seized by entering 9, the second by entering 81, etc.
    The number of MCO tenant groups available depends on the number of ports in the system as follows:
    • 96-port system:  ....1 to 12 MCO tenant groups
    • 192-port system: ...1 to 24 MCO tenant groups
    • 288-port system: ...1 to 36 MCO tenant groups
    • 384-port system: ...1 to 48 MCO tenant groups
    • 480-port system: ...1 to 60 MCO tenant groups
    • 576-port system: ...1 to 72 MCO tenant groups

    • FF5-2: MCO Outgoing Trunk Assignments
    • FF5-3: MCO Incoming Trunk Assignments
    • FF2: Trunk Tenant Group Assignments
    • FF3: Extension Tenant Group Assignments
    Considerations
    • When you first assign a trunk to a Trunk Tenant Group from the initial setting of (0), the system 
    automatically assigns the trunks as a member of the same number MCO Trunk Group (FF5-2 and 
    FF5-3). For instance, if Trunk 10 is assigned as a member of Trunk Tenant Group 1, then Trunk 
    10 is automatically assigned as a member of MCO Outbound Trunk Group 1 and MCO Inbound 
    Trunk Group 1. These assignments can be manually changed if desired.
    Memory Backup
    Description
    Data stored in the CPC card can be copied to another CPC card in the OP2 card slot for the first 
    cabinet. This is particularly useful when performed after completion of initial system setup (as a 
    recovery measure) or before major changes are made to system configuration. This backup CPC can 
    then be used to immediately restore system operation.
    This feature is a maintenance feature to be performed by the System certified dealer only.
    Hardware Requirements
    • A second CPC card that matches the type installed must be used to copy the memory.
