Expanding Communications 1 HOW THE LINE HUNTER WORKS The Line Hunter has been designed to provide effective call processing functionality for two applications. First and foremost, it is a powerful call processor that handles both inbound and outbound traffic seamlessly. Feature-rich and robust, The Line Hunter excels as a workhorse built for high-traffic commercial environments. The second function is designed for applications where inbound traffic routing is not important.
Expanding Communications OPERATIONAL NOTE: Operating with less than 4 Telephone Lines will diminish the inbound routing capabilities: (4 Lines = 12 Ports, 3 Lines = 9 Ports, 2 Lines = 6 Ports, 1 Line = 3 Ports). Unless all four telephones are operational, the vacant PRIMARY LINE PORT and its subordinate ports will be by-passed and not be available for call routing functions. Example: If a telephone line is not attached to the Line 4 Position, Ports 10, 11, 12 will NOT be included in the routing sequence.
Expanding Communications Precision Inbound Call Routing AND Fast Outbound Line Hunting LINEHUNTER FULL FUNCTION CONFIGURATION — The benefit of this configuration is that all 12 ports can have a unique telephone number (address) allowing the Line Hunter (using Selective Ring Service from Local Telephone Service Provider) to precisely route incoming calls to a particular device (or station). All telecommunications devices attached to ports on the Line Hunter will hunt for an available telephone line.
Expanding Communications FUNCTION 2: Outbound Line Hunting — This configuration places emphasis on outbound traffic. Up to 12 telecommunication devices are always in queue to hunt for one of 4 available lines, but only 4 ports will accept inbound calls. Incoming traffic will NOT be routed. Incoming calls will will be directed to the PRIMARY LINE PORT ONLY.
Expanding Communications DIP SWITCH: There is a six position DIP switch that will enable/disable any phone lines connected to it (follow silk-screen on back panel for position selection). The DIP switch will also enable/disable a busy signal for outbound calls when the phone lines are not available. It is recommended to disable any line that is not in use for the Line Hunter to be more efficient when hunting for any available line. Changes to the DIP switch settings take place immediately.
Expanding Communications 2 AUTO TEST - LINE TEST FUNCTION There is a built-in function within the Line Hunter that will identify lines that are enabled, but found to be nonfunctioning. If a device requests an outside line by going off-hook, the Line Hunter will select an appropriate line, if any are available. After the device has been connected to the line for 1 second, if no loop current is detected, the Line Hunter will verify whether the line is functional.
Expanding Communications 4 APPLICATIONS The Line Hunter is an extremely versatile telecommunications routing/hunting device. Up to 12 independent devices can be connected to the unit. TELECOMMUNICATIONS ZONE (CLOSET) Mounted in an equipment rack in a telecommunications closet, the Line Hunter can provide telephone line access for virtually any telecommunications device that transmits data over a telephone line.
