Hunt groups
What are hunt groups?
A hunt group is a group of extensions that receive calls according to the call distribution
method you choose. When a call is made to a certain phone number, the system
connects the call to an extension in the group.
Use hunt groups when you want more than one person to be able to answer calls to the
same number. For example, set up a hunt group for:
a benefits department within your company
a travel reservations service
Setting up hunt groups
Let’s set up a hunt group for an internal helpline. Before making changes to the voice
system, we’ll decide:
the phone number for the hunt group
the number of people answering calls
the way calls are answered
Our dial plan allows 4-digit internal numbers that begin with 1. The number 1200 is not in
use. So, we’ll set up a helpline hunt group so anyone within the company can call
extension 1200 for help with a phone.
We will assign 3 people (agents) and their extensions to our helpline. We want calls to go
to the first available person.
To set up our helpline hunt group:
1 Open a GEDI window for the voice system you want to administer.
2 Type add hunt-group next and press the ENTER key.
The Hunt Group screen appears. The Group Number field is automatically filled in
with the next hunt group number.
3 In the Group Name field, type the name of the group.
In our example, type internal helpline.
4 In the Group Extension field, type the phone number.
We’ll type 1200.
5 In the Group Type field, type the code for the call distribution method you choose.
We’ll type ucd-loa so a call goes to the agent with the lowest percentage of work
time since login.
Note: The COS for all hunt groups defaults to 1. Therefore, any changes to COS 1
on the Class of Service screen changes the COS for all your hunt groups. A COS
field does not appear on the Hunt Group screen.
