SETTING UP LINE HUNT GROUPS
A line hunt group is a set of lines that are available for making an outbound call. It can use
selected telephone lines, all VoIP lines associated with the TalkSwitch VoIP network, or all VoIP
lines associated with a service provider VoIP network.
The configuration has nine different hunt groups. If a VoIP-enabled TalkSwitch unit is present,
hunt group 88 uses the TalkSwitch VoIP network by default, and the other hunt groups use
telephone lines. You can modify these default settings as required. If you are using multiple
service provider VoIP networks, set up a hunt group for each service provider.
A local extension can be restricted to a set of hunt groups in order to control access to VoIP
networks. See
Hunt group permissions
on page 65.
