The hunt group facilities have been extended. The DBS will now support up to 24 hunt groups of
up to 32 member extensions. Cyclic hunting and No Answer hunting ( ringing hunting ) are now
available for internal calls directed at hunt groups according to programming.
Cyclic Hunting
The first call will hunt from member 1 upwards until a free extension is
located and ring there. The next call will begin to hunt from the member
extension following the last one which received a cyclic hunt call, until a
free extension is located, and so on for successive calls to the group.
When the last member is reached hunting continues from member 1 and
the cycle repeats. This will give an even call distribution across the
members of the hunt group.
To operate Cyclic Hunting the hunt group type must be set to ‘cyclic’ and
the first extension assigned to a virtual extension number ( i.e. An
extension which is not installed or covered by spare extension card
capacity) or a permanently busy extension and all calls directed to this first
member extension.
No Answer Hunting
An internal call will ring on a member extension, and if unanswered will
move onto the next extension and continue to do this until answered or
transferred to a non No Answer Hunting group.
