Hunt Group Considerations
■
For a telephone to participate in a hunt group, the telephone user
must be logged into the hunt group. See the NBX Telephone Guide
for more information.
■
You can lock in a member of a hunt group, which prevents the
member from logging out of the system. See the online Help for more
information.
■
When you create a hunt group, you specify one of three types: linear
hunt group, circular hunt group, or calling group. You base your
choice on the ringing pattern that you want.
■
For each group that you define, you also specify:
■
The Total Timeout — The length of time in seconds that the call
rings on the group’s telephones before the call goes to the group’s
call coverage point.
■
The Per-Device Timeout — The length of time in seconds that
each telephone rings in the cycle. (Ignored for Calling Groups.)
■
Whether you want the system to log a telephone out of the hunt
group if it does not answer. (Ignored for Calling Groups.)
■
For linear and circular hunt groups, the order in which a group
telephone rings (the telephone’s priority) is the same as the order in
which you added it to the group. For calling groups, all phones ring
simultaneously.
■
The Call Pickup feature is not supported for hunt groups.
