Hunt Group
Interaction With
Other Features
This section describes how participation in a hunt group interacts with other VCX phone features. Note the following considerations:
■A hunt group call can be added to a conference. The member receiving the call can conference with another extension or with another hunt group. Both announced and unannounced conferences are supported (see Setting up a Conference Call).
■A hunt group call can be put on hold and taken off hold without losing the caller.
■If a hunt group member puts a call on hold, that member can receive other calls.
■A hunt group caller on hold will hear hunt group Music On Hold.
■A hunt group call can be parked and then picked up by any user on the same site.
■If the VCX phone has Hands Free enabled, an incoming call to a hunt group will not be picked up automatically.
■A hunt group member’s personal phone settings (for example, Call Forward, Call Coverage point, and Do Not Disturb) are not invoked on Hunt Group calls
■An external call to a private user (someone not in the hunt group) can be transferred to a hunt group.
■Both attended and unattended call transfers are allowed for calls to a hunt group or from a hunt group.
■After reaching an Auto Attendant, a caller can enter a hunt group extension and be transferred to a Hunt Group.
■Internal and external callers that are forwarded to voice mail can leave a message and navigate through the voice mail options.
■If a hunt group call is routed to a voice mailbox or Auto Attendant call coverage point but the routing fails (for example, because no ports are available), the call is requeued for the hunt group.
■Each time a call is put back in a hunt group queue, it is treated like a new call.
■If you are a member of one or more hunt groups, the phone message button acts as a MWI for the hunt group voice mailbox even if you are not logged in to the hunt group. Pressing the message button displays a menu which shows number of new messages in each mailbox, including your personal mailbox. You can use the arrow navigation
