Hunt Groups and
Calling Groups

Hunt Groups

Your administrator can establish informal "call centers" so that incoming
calls can be directed to several telephones. Calls that come in to your
telephone through your extension go to the call coverage point that you
have set up. Calls that come in to your telephone through hunt groups
and calling groups follow the call coverage path set up by the
administrator for that group.
Incoming calls ring to one member of the hunt group. If that member's
telephone is in use, or if that member does not answer the call, the
system "hunts" for another member of the group until the call is
answered or is forwarded to the group call coverage point. For example,
if there are no available members of the hunt group, the call might be
forwarded to a group mailbox or to the receptionist.
Figure 4 shows an example of a hunt group configuration.
