Hunt Groups; Logging In To Acd Hunt Groups - Mitel 5304 User Manual

Hunt Groups

Hunt groups are groups of internal parties (agents) who share a common (hunt group)
extension number. Calls can either be placed to the hunt group (using the hunt group extension
number) or to a specific agent (using the agent's extension number). Hunt groups are
programmed by the system administrator.
Hunt groups types are either "UCD" or "ACD."

o Agent IDs: Each agent is assigned an Agent ID number for logging in to the hunt group
(see the next section). Hunt group calls are distributed to logged-in agents according to
their Agent ID number instead of their extension number. Agents can log in to any ACD
hunt group phone.
o Extensions: Hunt group members do not use Agent IDs, and calls are distributed to
phones where the agents are logged in.
Only one agent can be logged in to a phone.
