Description
If a called extension is busy, Station Hunting redirects the
incoming call to an idle member of the extension group. Idle
extensions are automatically searched according to the programmed
type. Six hunting types are available as follows:
Circular hunting: The extensions are searched until an idle
one is found, regardless of the jack number.
Termination hunting: The extensions are searched until
reaching the extension which has the highest jack number in
the group.
Voice Mail (VM) hunting: All the VM ports are searched
until an idle one is found to permit VM Service.
Automated Attendant (AA) hunting: All the AA ports are
searched until an idle one is found to permit AA Service.
Ring Group hunting: All the extensions in the ring group
ring simultaneously.
Uniform Call Distribution (UCD) hunting: Successive
calls go to a different extension each time a call is received.
Extensions are hunted in a circular way.
One of the hunting types is selected for each extension group.
To leave the hunting group temporarily, use the Log-Out function.
To re-join, use the Log-In function.
Conditions
• If all the searched extensions are busy, a busy tone is sent to the caller.
• If the called extension has set Do Not Disturb, Call Forwarding or Log-
Out, Station Hunting skips the extension.
• If UCD is set, the Hunting is performed as a setting of UCD.
