mode. You must program lines 1 through 4 to ports 1 through 4.

Assigning Voice Mail Ports to a Hunt Group

You must assign all voice mail ports to a circular hunt group to take advantage of that

feature’s multiple-port interface. Make a circular hunt group by linking all voice mail

ports to one another and then linking the last voice mail port in the hunt group with the

first voice mail port in the hunt group. For example, with the voice mail system connected

to station ports 014, 015, 016, and 017, place port 014 in a hunt group and link 015 to it,

then place 015 in a hunt group and link 016 to it, then place 016 in a hunt group and link

017 to it. Lastly, place 017 in a hunt group and link 014 to it to complete the circle. With

this arrangement, a call will first try to ring at port 014, then 015, and so forth until it tries

all four voice mail ports.

OTE

: This procedure does not work for night mode. See the procedure on night

ringing (above) for more information.

To program the voice mail port hunt group:

1. If you are not already in configuration mode, dial ITCM *#746*.

2. Dial 53 “STATION FEATURES”.

3. Dial 18 “ITCM HUNT LINK”.

4. Select the first linking station: Station 10 through 25 or press A1 through A16 (see

table earlier in this chapter).

5. Select the second linking station: Station 10 through 25 or press A1 through A16.

6. Dial * to complete the link.

7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 until all the links have been created.

8. After linking the entire group, dial *** to finish but stay in configuration mode.

Setting Up Call Forwarding

The system can automatically forward busy and ring-no-answer calls to voice mail. When

a user places a call to station A, for example, that call can be automatically forwarded to

any other station associated by the intercom hunt group. Use this feature to arrange for

calls to cycle rapidly through such associated stations, testing each one in turn with several

rings. You can set stations within the hunt group to ring at different intervals. Before this

feature can work, you must have programmed the hunt group.
