What does a Line Group define?

• A. Dial string
• B. Number normalization
• C. Route pattern
• D. Hunt order

Answer: (D)

A Line Group is a collection of lines (directory numbers) that participate in a hunt, and it defines how calls are distributed among those lines. In practice, when a call reaches a Hunt Group, the system looks at the Line Group to decide which lines should ring and in what order. The line group’s distribution method (for example, whether to ring the first line first, pick the longest-idle line next, or ring all lines) determines the sequence in which the endpoints are tried. So the Line Group sets the set of available lines and the order in which they are attempted to answer, i.e., the hunt order. The other options refer to dialing or routing constructs that aren’t defined by a Line Group.
