Example of not sequential configuration of a multiple Hunting Group:
FXS Port #1: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID entered, Hunting group set to "Active"
FXS Port #2: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID entered, Hunting Group set to "Active"
FXS Port #3: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to "1"
FXS Port #4: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting group set to "2"
FXS Port #5: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to "1"
FXS Port #6: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to "2"
FXS Port #7: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting group set to "1"
FXS Port #8: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to "2"
Note: A single call directed to the SIP account will NOT result in all ports ringing at the same time. They
will ring in the hunting group only. This feature is applicable to incoming calls only.
There are two types of hunting groups, Linear and Circular. Linear style will sort the call to the lowest-
numbered available line, this is a lso called “serial hunting”. Circular style will distribute the calls "round-
robin". If a call is assigned to line 1, the next call goes to 2 and the next to 3. The succession throughout
each of the lines continues even if one of the previous lines becomes available. When the end of the hunt
group is reached, the hunting starts over at the first line. Lines are skipped if they are still busy on a
previous call. These two hunting styles can be configured from the Profile_x page.
INTER-PORT CALLING
In some cases a user may want to make phone calls between the phones connected to multiple ports of
the same gateway when it is used as a stand alone unit, without the use of a SIP server. This feature will
also be applicable when the gateway is used with Hunting Groups and is registered to SIP server only
with one master number. In such cases users still will be able to make inter-port calls by using the IVR
feature.
For example on the GX4004 and GXW4008 the user connected to port 1 can reach the user connected to
port 3 by dialing *** and 73. Digit 7 indicated using inter-port calling feature, digit 3 indicates the port
number which should be reached. At the same manner the user connected to port 4 can reach the user
connected to port 8 by dialing *** and 78.
