Contact List For A Trunk Group - Linksys RTP300 - Broadband Router With 2 Phone Ports Administration Manual

Contact List for a Trunk Group

The hunting process for incoming calls is controlled by the Contact List. The Contact List
specifies the lines to ring, the order in which to ring them, the duration to ring one line before
trying another line, and the maximum period to hunt. Below, the syntax is described and
examples are provided to help you to configure the Contact List for each trunk group.
SYNTAX:
line[,line[,line[...]]],hunt=hrule[,cfwd=target]

• The Trunk UA rings only trunk lines, that is, lines that are assigned to a trunk group

standalone lines that are included in the Contact List. The Trunk UA rings any trunk line
that is included in the list, even if it is not assigned to the particular trunk group for this
Contact List.
• You can instruct the SPA8000 to hunt only the phones that are on-hook, through the
Voice tab > SIP page, Trunking Parameters section, Hunt Policy field. See
Policy, " on page 69.
