Hunt Groups and
Calling Groups
Your administrator can establish informal “call centers” so that incoming
calls can be directed to several phones.
Hunt Groups Incoming calls ring to one member of the hunt group. If that member’s
telephone is in use, or if that member does not answer the call, the
system “hunts” for another member of the group until the call is
answered or is forwarded to the group call coverage (call forwarding)
path. For example, if there are no available members of the hunt group,
the call might be forwarded to a group mailbox or to the receptionist.
Figure 9 shows an example of a hunt group configuration.
