Systems feature – Blast Groups (Parallel Hunt-Groups)
CCA 1.9 allows the setup of blast groups that will ring all extensions that are members of the group
simultaneously. Like with hunt groups, you can configure the pilot number, members list, and "No
Answer Forward to" number on a single page. Unanswered calls to a blast group can be forwarded to
Voicemail, to a configured Auto Attendant, an extension on the system, or an outside number.
Click on the "Voice Features" tab
o Under "Call Blast Group", check the "Enable" button, then select 1 for "Blast Groups".
o Configure the first Pilot # as 505. Click the Members button, select extensions x203 and
x301 from the Available column and click Add. Notice that external numbers can be added
to the blast group using the "Other Number" field, then press OK. Set the "Forward to"
parameter as Hunt Group and select Hunt Group:1(501) for the number.
