The total number of extensions can be divided into a maximum of 32 calling
groups. A calling group can include a maximum of 20 extensions, but not all 32
calling groups can have this maximum number.
If a linear hunting pattern is indicated on the back of the system planning form
(7d), be sure to assign extensions to the group in the exact order that they are
shown on the form. The system searches for an available member in the order in
which you assign the extensions to the group.
The Extension Status feature must be set to the calling group or CMS mode
before you assign members to the group. For more information, see “Extension
Status” in the
Feature Reference
and in the “System Features” section of Chapter
3,
System Programming
.
Changing calling group assignments may affect other features; for more
information, see the
Feature Reference
.
NOTE:
To assign an extension to a new calling group, you must remove it from its
old group before programming the new assignment.
