Hunt groups provides functions of call processing center. The device is supported by 3 operation mode of 
hunt groups: group, serial and cyclic.  
In ‘group’ mode, the call will be sent to all the free group ports simultaneously. If one participant of call 
group answers, the call to other ports is stopped.  
In ‘serial’ mode call will be sent to the first free port in the list and, after specified timeout, the next free 
port from the list will be added to the main port. When one of the group participants answers, the call to the 
other free ports will be finished.  
In ‘cycle’ mode the free participant of the group is searched by timeout. Thus, cyclical calls each after each 
will be sent to all the free group ports.

  Group – call group signal will be sent to all the ports of group simultaneously; 
  Serial – port number, that call will be forwarded to, will be increased by one when 
zero value is defined for call timeout of the next port; 
  Cyclic  –  cadence  through  the  interval,  that  is  equal  to  timeout  of  the  next  port 
calling, will be transmitted to each port of group cyclically; 
–  Next  port  calling  timeout,  sec  –  option  is  used  by  ‘serial’  and  ’cyclic’ 
group types and option assigns time interval to switch a call to following 
port(s); 
–  Call queue size – setting  allows you  to  limit maximum  number of unanswered calls to call group 
queue. If the group has free port and unanswered calls, incoming call is not put on the queue.  
–  Call reply timeout, sec – if group call is not answered, it will be dropped after timeout expiration 
(calling subscriber receives ‘busy’ signal); 
–  SIP Port of group – alternative SIP port of group (the default value is 5060);

available only if call group subscribers belong to the same group SIP profile;
