Features and Services
If all the telephones in the Multiple Appearance Directory Number (MADN)
group are Meridian 1 proprietary telephones, ringing telephones are placed at
the top of the DN list, and non-ringing telephones are placed at the bottom.
If a Multiple Appearance Directory Number appears in a group with several
telephone types, the telephone type affects the position of the TN in the list.
The analog (500/2500 type) telephones are listed at the top, and Meridian 1
proprietary telephones are listed in numerical TN order at the bottom of the
list. A service change to an analog (500/2500 type) telephone moves its TN
to the top of the list. A service change to a Meridian 1 proprietary telephone
moves it to the bottom of the list. Call redirection follows the TN order from
top to bottom.
The MARP TN is always checked to determine if and how the call is to be
redirected by Hunting, regardless of where the MARP TN resides in the TN
list of the DN block. No searching of the TN list of the DN block is needed.
Hunting will follow the hunt chain based on the originally dialed DN. The
actual functioning and requirements for Hunting are not changed by the
MARP feature. The basic change introduced by the MARP feature is to
always have a designated TN, the MARP TN, as the TN supplying the call
redirection parameters.
If the MARP TN does not have Hunting control enabled, no Hunting is
attempted. Other features for redirecting calls to busy DNs may be attempted
based on the MARP TN.
A Short Hunting sequence begins when the MARP TN of a busy DN can
perform Short Hunting. When a Short Hunt begins, it completes on that
telephone before going to the Hunt DN. The precedence of Short Hunting
over normal Hunting is maintained. Once a Short Hunting sequence is started
on a digital TN, all the DNs in the Short Hunt sequence on that TN are
attempted before redirecting the call to the TN’s Hunt DN. Thus, a Hunt
Chain connects Short Hunting sequences through Hunt DNs only.
