4.5 Group Call Distribution
Use this feature to assign outside lines to Hunt Groups. Doing this allows outside calls to ring directly into a Hunt Group
instead of being answered and transferred by the receptionist. You can assign lines to Hunt Groups 1 to 6.
·
Each outside line can be assigned to a Hunt Group.
·
Incoming calls hunt for an available extension in a circular manner.
·
If a Hunt Group that has outside lines assigned receives an outside call and all members of that Hunt Group are
busy or have Do Not Disturb on, the caller hears ringing which continues until the call is answered.
·
Use
to assign extensions to Hunt Groups.
·
You should not assign T1 lines with Direct Inward Dialing (DID) to Hunt Groups. If a Hunt Group contains T1 lines
with Direct Inward Dialing (DID), callers will receive busy signal when all extensions in the Hunt Group are busy
(for example, off-hook), have Do Not Disturb activated or are in programming mode.
·
Example
Place the extensions of employees who work in a department in a Hunt Group and assign one or more outside lines
to the group. This lets outside callers ring the group directly without being transferred by the receptionist. For
example, a mail-order company assigns the extensions of its sales representatives to a Hunt Group and assigns a
line to the group. The company then publishes the number as its customer service number so that a caller can
reach a sales representative directly to place an order.
