30. The Description field is optional, but can be useful in associating the channel to the extension. If
you wish, enter a description of your local phone number. This description serves to identify the
phone number you entered in the previous step (e.g., normally the “Master” MultiVOIP 400/800
resides at the entity’s main office; therefore, for this example you could enter a description such
as “New York Office 1”).
31. The Station Identification group includes a Hunt Group drop-down list. This list enables you to
indicate which Hunt Group you want the phone number to be associated with; or, you can select
NO HUNT if you don’t want this entry to participate in hunting.
Note: Hunting is a series of telephone lines organized in such a way that if the first line is busy
the next line is hunted and so on until a free line is found. For this example, assign the phone
entry to HUNT GROUP #1.
Once you have assigned this entry to a Hunt Group (or NO HUNT), you must enter the IP
Address of the Master MultiVOIP 400/800 in the IP Address field (e.g., 204.022.122.118).
Note: The Port field becomes active as you begin to enter the IP Address. The entry is the H.323
industry standard Port value (1720) used to communicate with other H.323 endpoints.
32. Click OK to return to the Phone Directory Database dialog box. It now includes phone number
(101), destination details (204.022.122.118 Channel 1), and description (New York Office 1).
