Logging Out of Hunt Groups

If your organization receives a large number of incoming calls, you might be a member of a hunt group.
A hunt group includes a series of directory numbers that share the incoming call load. When the first
directory number in the hunt group is busy, the system hunts for the next available directory number
in the group and directs the call to that phone.
When you are away from your phone, you can prevent hunt group calls from ringing your phone by
logging out of hunt groups.
If you want to...
Log out of hunt groups to
temporarily block hunt group
calls
Log in to receive hunt group
calls
Tip
Logging out of hunt groups does not prevent non-hunt group calls from ringing your phone.

Using a Shared Line

Your system administrator might ask you to use a shared line if you:
• Have multiple phones and want one phone number
• Share call-handling tasks with coworkers
• Handle calls on behalf of a manager
