Aastra Trank Lines

So basically, you have these trunk lines coming into your business telephone systems, so you can only have as many simultaneous conversations going on as you have trunk lines. So, like I say, if you have 40 people, I would suggest you have four trunk lines. If you have ten people maybe you can have three trunk lines, but basically every incoming call and every outgoing call will take up one of your trunk lines. Once you run out of trunk lines, nobody can call in and nobody can call out.

Now how this works from the outside world is that you set up something called a hunt group so when somebody calls your main number, 410-685-2808, if somebody has already called and this is busy, you will automatically be forwarded to 410-685-2885. If that is busy, you will automatically be forwarded to 410-685-2880 and etc. This is how this works. Not only that, but right now we're talking about normal telephone lines.
