Each ring group consists of a number of extensions that work together when calls come in. For
example, you can configure a number of extensions to all ring simultaneously when a call

14.1.2 What You Need to Know about Ring Groups
Paging and Hunting
Ring groups on the X6004 control groups of extensions for two purposes:
• Paging - the caller can simply dial a number configured for a group of extensions. The
telephones with the extensions in the group automatically pick up. It is similar to creating
an automatic conference call.
• Hunting - the caller can simply dial a number to reach a group of extensions. The
extensions ring based on a ringing method you configure. For example, all extensions can
ring at the same time until the call is picked up or extensions in the group ring in a random
order until the call is picked up.
