GLOSSARY
G
Ground-Start Trunk
On outgoing calls, the system transmits a request for services to the distant switching
system by grounding the trunk ring lead. When the distant system is ready to receive the
digits of the called number, that system grounds the trunk tip lead. When the system
detects this ground, the digits are sent. (Tip and ring are common nomenclature to dif-
ferentiate between ground-start trunk leads.) On incoming calls, detection of ground on
the ring lead is sufficient to cause the call to route to a predetermined destination, nor-
mally the system attendant group. No digits are received.
H

Home Numbering Plan Area Code

the local geographical area.
Hospitality
Hospitality features, such as Automatic Wakeup and Do Not Disturb, are those required
for the administration of stations considered to be “guests” or “clients” of the customer.
Additionally, these features allow the customer to mnnect the system to a PMS, which is
used to collect and manage guest room information.
Hospitality Parameter Reduction
Provides the user with a reduced set of system parameters. Namely, the number of
trunks, number of hunt-groups, number of pick-up groups, and the number of coverage
paths.
Host
A customer processor that, when connected to the switch using ASAI, for example, is
considered an adjunct.
Hunt Group
