Establishing Basic Hunt Group Attributes
After you create a hunt group, you can set basic attributes in the Huntgroup
Configuration, General tab:
To set Group Information, type in the following:
• First Name and Last Name – Each with a maximum of 32 characters.
• Password – The default is the system default password set on the Number Plan
tab of the System Configuration window.
A valid password cannot be the same as its hunt group number and must be 4–8
digits (numbers or letters A–Z) in length. Basic password patterns, such as repeated
digits (1111), consecutive digit strings (1234), or digits that match the extension
(Ext. 101 using 1012, 9101, 10101, etc.) are not recommended. The letters map
to numbers (on a phone, for example) as follows:
Numbers Letters Numbers Letters
2 A, B, C, a, b, c 6 M, N, O, m, n, o
3 D, E, F, d, e, f 7 P, Q, R, S, p, q, r, s
4 G, H, I, g, h, i 8 T, U, V, t, u, v
5 J, K, L, j, k, l 9 W, X, Y, Z, w, x, y, z
DID Number – Each hunt group can be assigned a DID number. This number does
not have a fixed length, but the length must be long enough (range 2–16) for the
system to match the DID incoming call.
• Enable Dial-By-Name Service – Check this box to allow callers to search the list
by employee name for this hunt group extension.
• Description – Describe the purpose of this hunt group.
