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.

HUNTING — The Line Hunter hunts for an available line in a sequential order. That is, a device attached to
port 1, 2, or 3 will be connected to line 1 if available. If line 1 is not available, it will be connected to line 2, 3,
or 4 if they are available. If no lines are available, the device will not be connected to any outside line. A busy
tone can be provided to any device that requests an outside line when none are available (programmed using
DIP SWITCH).
HUNT ORDER — The hunt order for devices runs sequentially — Ports 1, 2, 3 first try to access LINE 1, then
LINE 2, LINE 3 and LINE 4. Ports 4, 5, and 6 start with LINE 2, LINE 3, LINE 4 and LINE 1. Ports 7, 8, and 9
hunt LINE 3, LINE 4, LINE 1 and LINE 2, etc.
PHONE SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY — The Line Hunter was not specifically designed to be integrated into the
rollover sequence of your KSU or PBX. However, there are some applications where this configuration may be
desired. NOTE: Some Key Systems and PBX’s do not respond well to a ‘Distinctive Ring’ Line integrated as part
of a rollover sequence. PLEASE CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURER OF YOUR PHONE SYSTEM FOR
DETAILS.
