1.2.1Idle Extension Hunting

Description

If a called extension is busy, Idle Extension Hunting redirects the call to an idle member of the same extension group, if that group has been assigned as an idle extension hunting group through system programming ( Hunting Group Set [100]). Idle extensions are automatically searched for according to a preprogrammed hunting type ( Hunting Type [101]).

This feature is also known as Station Hunting.

Conditions

Idle Extension Hunting applies to:

Intercom calls and outside (CO) line calls directed to a single extension.

An extension can belong to only one extension group ( Extension Group [600]). One hunting type can be programmed for each extension group.

If all the searched extensions in an idle extension hunting group are busy, a busy tone will be heard at the extension that made the intercom call (including Direct Inward System Access [DISA] calls).

A user can leave an idle extension hunting group temporarily by logging out of the group, and rejoin the group by logging back in ( 1.2.4 Log-in/Log-out).

FWD/DND Mode

When searching for an idle extension within an idle extension hunting group, any extension that has set FWD, DND, or Log-out will be skipped ( 1.3.1 Call Forwarding (FWD)/Do Not Disturb (DND)). However, if the extension that receives the call first has set FWD or DND, Idle Extension Hunting will
