Calling Groups calls can be directed to several telephones. Calls that come in to your telephone through your extension go to the call coverage point that you have set up. Calls that come in to your telephone through hunt groups and calling groups follow the call coverage path set up by the administrator for that group.

Hunt Groups Incoming calls ring to one member of the hunt group. If that member’s telephone is in use, or if that member does not answer the call, the system “hunts” for another member of the group until the call is answered or is forwarded to the group call coverage point. For example, if there are no available members of the hunt group, the call might be forwarded to a group mailbox or to the receptionist.
