Considerations for Hunt Groups 1–6
■ Any number of extensions can be assigned to each Hunt Group. In 
addition, extensions can be in more than one Hunt Group.
■ You can include multiple fax machines or answering machines in a Hunt 
Group.
■ If you have a PARTNER MAIL system and multiple fax machines, you can 
assign the fax machines to a Hunt Group. Then you can program the 
PARTNER MAIL system so that when an automatic fax call comes in on a 
line covered by the PARTNER MAIL’s Automated Attendant Service, the 
PARTNER MAIL system recognizes that it is a fax call and automatically 
transfers it to the first available fax machine in the group.
Considerations for Hunt Group 7
This Hunt Group is used exclusively for the extensions associated with the voice 
messaging system hardware. Do not assign any other extensions to this group. A 
voice messaging system requires special hardware and set up procedures—refer 
to ‘‘Voice Messaging Systems’’ on page 4-28 and to the documentation shipped 
with the voice messaging system for more information.
Considerations for Hunt Group 8
This Hunt Group is used exclusively for fax machines. Do not assign any other 
extensions to this group. 
When lines appear on a fax extension, you will want to make sure that the fax 
machine does not automatically answer outside calls on these lines. There are 
three ways you can do this:
■ Set the fax machine for delayed pickup.
■ Use Line Ringing to change the ring options on the fax extension to either 
delayed ring or no ring. 
■ (Recommended) Use Line Assignment (#301) to remove all outside lines 
from the fax extension.
