Station Hunting examples
In this example (Table 60), extension 2 is the called extension. Because extension
2 is busy, the system follows the station-hunting chain to find an idle extension.
The system cannot find an idle extension so it returns busy tone to the caller. Note
that the chain terminates with extension 5. This means that the system cannot
route the call to extension 1 even though it is an idle extension in the chain.
In this example (Table 61), extension 2 is the called extension. Because extension
2 is busy, the system follows the station-hunting chain to find an idle extension.
The call is answered at extension 1.
In this example (Table 62), extension 2 is the called extension. Because extension
2 is busy, the system follows the station-hunting chain to find an idle extension.
The system encounters extension 3 a second time without finding an idle station.
The system stops checking the station-hunting chain and returns busy tone to the
caller. Notice that both extensions 5 and 2 link to extension 3.
