Use
Incoming calls are signalled in parallel to all signed-on enquiry stations. If the enquiry
stations are busy, the incoming call joins the queue on each of the terminals in the
hunt group. If one of the enquiry stations accepts a call from the queue, the call is
removed from the queues of all the other enquiry stations. The display at each
enquiry station (Aastra 6775 (OpenPhone 75)) indicates how full the queue is.
