Master number hunting allows a user to dial an access code (the
master hunt number of the Hunt Group), and have the call completed
to the first idle extension in that Hunt Group. Any extension within a
Hunt Group may be accessed directly by dialing the extension number;
hunting will not take place if the extension is busy. Three types of
hunting are provided by the system: Circular, Terminal and Secretarial
hunting. Trunks may also be placed in circular or terminal Hunt Groups.
Circular Hunting starts at the extension after the last extension in the
Hunt Group to which a call was completed (the extension rung), and
hunts over all extensions in the Hunt Group in the sequence pro-
grammed. Hunting stops at the first idle extension found. If all exten-
sions are busy, the calling extension hears busy tone, and may camp
on to the Hunt Group. A Dial-In trunk receives ringback, while a
transferred trunk will receive Music on Hold, if provided.
Terminal Hunting starts at the first extension in the Hunt Group and
terminates at the first idle extension found. Hunting takes place in the
order in which the extensions were programmed into the Hunt Group.
Secretarial Hunting is the same as terminal hunting, except that the
terminating extensions (the secretarial positions) are the same for 17

The Hunt Group Access Code must be unique and must not

to a Hunt Group.
A maximum of 12 independent Hunt Groups may be defined.

If an extension appears in more than one Hunt Group (secretarial
l
hunting) the numbers following the extension must be identical
and in the same sequence in each Hunt Group that the extension
appears in.
Extensions cannot be in more than one circular Hunt Group.
