To remove or to replace an endpoint from its hunt group(s):
Inter-Tel endpoints: While on- or off-hook, enter the Hunt Group Remove feature
code (322) to halt hunt group calls or enter the Hunt Group Replace feature code (323)
to return the endpoint to its hunt group(s). Or, use the Hunt Group On/Off feature code
(324) to toggle the hunt group mode on or off. You hear a confirmation tone, and the
display shows
ACCEPT (or DIVERT) HUNT GROUP CALLS. If off-hook, hang up.
Single line endpoints: Lift the handset and enter the Hunt Group Remove feature code
(322) to halt hunt group calls or enter the Hunt Group Replace feature code (323) to
return the endpoint to its hunt group(s). Or, use the Hunt Group On/Off feature code
(324) to toggle the hunt group mode on or off. You hear dial tone.
UCD Hunt Groups
Uniform Call Distribution (UCD) hunt groups provide additional features to improve hunt
group efficiency. The features added when UCD is enabled are as follows:
• Announcement and overflow endpoints pick up unanswered calls when the hunt group
endpoints are busy.
• Hunt group priority ranking will place calls to one hunt group before another at end-
points that are members of more than one hunt group.
• Hunt group supervisors can monitor outside calls of any member of the hunt group.
Announcement and Overflow Stations
Announcement and overflow stations are individual endpoints that receive unanswered calls
when all of the hunt group endpoints are unavailable. They are not usually included in the hunt
group list. Announcement and overflow stations can be separate endpoints or they can be the
same endpoint. Also, each of the hunt groups can have the same announcement and overflow
stations or they can be assigned different endpoints. In a network, the announcement and over-
flow stations can be off-node devices.
