This feature enables the gateway to register all existing FXS ports with the
same phone number. Each incoming call will be routed to first available port in
Linear or Circular mode. User may configure all ports as members of the same
Hunting Group or it may configure different port combinations for more than
one Hunting Group.
For example: Ports 1, 3 and 5 are members of the same Hunting Group, the
rest of the ports may have separate numbers and may be reached
independently.
Any port, member of a Hunting Group that is not registered with a SIP account,
will be able to place outbound calls using the SIP credentials of the primary
Hunting Group port.
For example: Port 1, 3 and 5 are members of the same Hunting Group. Port
1 is registered with a SIP account. Ports 3 and 5 are not registered. Ports 3
and 5 will be able to place outbound calls using the SIP account of port 1.
Select appropriate value for Hunting Group feature. The original SIP account
should be set to Active while the group members should be set to the port
number of the Active Port.
Example configuration of a multiple Hunting group:
FXS Port #1: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID entered, Hunting group set to
"Active"
