■Call Vectoring
You cannot assign a Vector Directory Number as a hunt-to station.
If a route-to command’s with cov y directs a call to a busy station, the call
follows the station’s hunt-to chain and not its coverage path. Re fer to
DEFINITY ECS Call Vectoring/EAS Guide or DEFINITY BCS and
Guestworks Call Vectoring Guide for more information.
■Call Waiting/Attendant Call Waiting
Station Hunting has precedence over Call Waiting.
If a called extension has Call Waiting active, and the extension is already
busy on a call, the system hunts the station-hunting chain. If the system
cannot terminate the call to a member o f the chain, then the call waits at the
called extension.
If the system finds Call Waiting active at an extension in a station-hunting
chain, it considers the extension busy and bypasses it.
■Class of Restriction
The system checks the COR of the called extension; it does not check the
COR of the hunt-to stations in the chain.
■Distributed Communications System
Station Hunting is not a DCS feature. All members of a station-hunting
chain must be on the same switch.
■Do Not Disturb
When a phone has Do Not Disturb activated, a call to that phone goes to
intercept treatment and not to station hunting.
■Extension Number Portability
You cannot assign a remote ENP extension as a hunt-to station.
■Hunting/Hunting Group
You cannot assign a direct departmental calling or Uniform Call
Distribution extension as a hunt-to station.
■Intercom Call
The system denies Station Hunting for intercom calls to a busy extension.
■Leave Word Calling
If a caller initiates Leave Word Calling (LWC), the LWC message is left at
the called extension even if the system uses Statio n Hunting in an attempt
to complete the call.
■Multimedia
Calls to multimedia endpoints must convert to voice before s tat io n hunt i ng.
