Hunt Groups are used to provide access to a single destination point with
multiple node-channels assigned to it. Three different search modes are
available (Forward, Reverse, or Pack).
Example: In an environment where many Data calls are placed to the
destination (gateway), but individual circuits may be busy, the Hunt
Group will search for and connect with the first available circuit.
From the main window, click Configuration then Hunt Groups. The Hunt Groups window
is displayed. This window shows a list of the current Hunt Groups, and provides buttons
to Add, Edit, and Delete Hunt Groups.
Hunt Groups can only be deleted when no
Directory Numbers are associated with them, and
all channels have been disabled and removed.
To Add a new Hunt Group, click the Add button. The Enter
Hunt Group ID window is displayed. Enter a Hunt Group ID
text description, select the type and click OK to accept.
