5. In the “Channel Number” field, enter “Hunting.” A “hunting” value means the VOIP unit will assign the call to
the first available channel. If desired, specific channels can be assigned to specific incoming calls (that is, to
any set of calls received with a particular incoming dialing pattern).
6. In the “Description” field, it is useful to describe the ultimate destination of the calls. For example, in a New
York City VOIP system, “incoming calls to Manhattan office,” might describe a phonebook entry, as might
the descriptor “incoming calls to NYC local calling area.” The description should make the routing of calls
easy to understand. For this, 40 characters are the maximum.
