Configuring Hunt groups
This section explains how to create hunt groups using the Hunt Group headings in the Unified
Manager.
Hunt groups are designed to provide a service where incoming calls appear on a targeted group of
telephones called a Hunt group (“How to use Hunt groups” on page 578). When you designate a
Hunt group, you define the group as a unique DN. This DN receives and distributes calls to the
telephones assigned to the group. The telephones receiving the call provide a line indication that a
call has come in. How the calls are distributed can also be defined.
There can be a maximum of 30 Hunt groups assigned on a Business Communications Manager.
The following figure shows a detailed view of the Hunt groups headings on the navigation tree.
