Hunt Type 4

Use this procedure to assign one of the following hunt-type patterns to calling
groups:
Circular Hunting Pattern. The system distributes calls to group members
by hunting in a circular pattern for the first available extension after the one
that received the last call to the group.
Linear Hunting Pattern. The system searches for an available group
member in the order in which the extensions were assigned to the calling
group.
Most Idle Hunti ng Pattern. The system searches for the available
member that is “most idle.” This distribution scheme can be more equitable
than the circular hunting pattern.
