Restricting local extension access to specific hunt groups
By default, all local extensions have access to all hunt groups. As part of an ARS and toll
restriction scheme you can restrict the hunt groups that a local extension can use.
1. Remove the local extension’s access to the hunt group. See Hunt group permissions on page
64.
NOTE: If the local extension does not have access to a hunt group, but the user dials leading
digits that select a hunt group, the hunt group is used anyway.
Allowing a local extension to bypass ARS and toll restriction

phone number.

page 64.
