Cisco Systems 7970 Series manual Logging Out of Hunt Groups, Using a Shared Line

Tips

•You have a limited time to retrieve a parked call before it reverts to ringing at the original number. See your system administrator for details.

•Your system administrator can assign Directed Call Park buttons to available line buttons on your Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970 or 7971 or on your Cisco Unified IP Phone 7914 Expansion Module.

•You can dial directed call park numbers if you do not have Directed Call Park buttons on your phone. However, you will not be able to see the status of the directed call park number.

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.

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
