Description: Channel Hunt algorithm. Used to set the channel hunting sequence that the Tenor will use when sending a call out of this trunk group. It is important to understand the hunt order that the network and the PBX use and that the Tenor be configured to hunt in the opposite direction. If the PSTN hunts in an ascending pattern (as is typical) then the Tenors PSTN TG should hunt in a descending pattern. The same holds true for the PBX. This is done to reduce the probability of glare, which is a condition when 2 devices on opposite ends of a line attempt to seize the same channel at the same time. For the purposes of this section, the prompt will be shown as config pstntg 1# or config pbxtg 1#.
Cmd Type: command.
Prompt Level: config pstntg 1# and config pbxtg 1#
Syntax: chhunt or ch {0 | 1 | 2 | 3}
Arguments:
0 Ascending hunting. Always choose the lowest channel available. If channels 2, 3 & 4 are in use, but 1 & 5-24 are available, will choose channel 1 for the next call.
1 Descending. Always choose the highest channel available. If channels 23, 22 & 21 are in use, but 24 & 20-1 are available, will choose channel 24 for the next call.
2 Ascending Round robin. Choose the next highest channel from the last channel used. If channels 2, 3 & 4 are in use, but 1 & 5-24 are available, will choose channel 5 for the next call.
3 Descending Round robin. Choose the next lowest channel from the last channel used. If channels 23, 22 & 21 are in use, but 24 & 20-1 are available, will choose channel 20 for the next call.
Default: 0-ascending for the PBXTG and 1-descending for the PSTNTG.
Availability: All releases of Tenor units.
Guidelines: Formerly, the 2 round robin options were only usable for lines that are configured as CCS (ISDN), but those options became available for CAS lines as of Software Release P2-4-x.
Examples:
config pstntg 1# chhunt 0
Sets the first PSTN trunk group hunt sequence to ascending.
config pbxtg 1# chhunt 1
Sets the first PBX trunk group hunt sequence to descending.
