Problem
All Nortel Meridian 1 switches can have a maximum of 30 members in a hunt group, which means you can have only 30 ports on the Cisco MeetingPlace server accessible at any one time.
Solution
Follow these instructions for a workaround:
-
Create a hunt group with a pilot directory number (DN) (your main access number for calling in).
-
Have each TN hunt to the next telephone number (TN) using the HUNT prompt in Load (LD) 10.
-
When you get to the 29th member, have it hunt to a "phantom" Automatic Call Distribution Number (ACDN).
-
In LD 23, assign this ACDN a maximum number of ACD agent positions (MAXP) of 1 and Night Call Forward Destination (NCFW) to the DN of member 30 of your group.
-
Now you can assign hunt numbers in LD 10 for the next 29 members. Repeat the process for all members of the group.
