The follow are simple examples of how a department might use the facilities of a hunt group.
1. Basic Hunt Group
Scenario
The Sales department want all sales related calls to be presented first to Jane, then Peter and finally Anne.
Actions
1.Create a hunt group named Sales and assign it an extension number.
2.Set the Hunt Type to Sequential.

4.Turn off queuing on the Queuing tab and voicemail on the Voicemail tab.
5.Route relevant calls to the Sales group by selecting it as the destination in the appropriate Incoming
Call Routes.
Results
Any call received by the Sales hunt group is first presented to Jane if she is available. If Jane is not
available or does not answer within 15 seconds the call is presented to Peter. If Peter is not available or
does not answer within 15 seconds the call goes Anne. Since voicemail is not on, the call will continue to be
presented around the group members in that order until it is answered or the callers hangs up.
2. Adding Voicemail Support
Scenario
A voicemail server has now been added to the system. The Sales department wants to use it to take
messages from unanswered callers. When messages are left, they want Jane to receive message waiting
indication.
Actions
1.Open the Sales hunt group settings and select Voicemail On on the Voicemail tab.
2.Select the User settings for Jane. On the Source Numbers tab, add the entry HSales.
Results
Once a call to the Sales group has been presented to all the available members, if it is still unanswered
then the call will be redirected to the group's voicemail mailbox to leave a message. When a message has
been left, the message waiting indication lamp on Jane's phone is lit.
3. Using the Queuing Facility

The Sales department now wants calls queued when no one is available to answer. However if the number
of queued calls exceeds 3 they then want any further callers directed to voicemail.
Actions

2.Set the Queue Limit to 3.
Results
When the Sales group are all on calls or ringing, any further calls to the group are queued and receive
queuing announcements from the voicemail server. When the number of queued calls exceeds 3, any
further calls are routed to the group's voicemail mailbox.

Support.

Group field select the Support group.
