1.2.1 Idle Extension Hunting
Description
If a called extension is busy or in DND mode, Idle Extension Hunting redirects the incoming call to an idle
member of the same idle extension hunting group, which can be programmed through system programming.
Idle extensions are automatically searched according to a preprogrammed hunting type.
This feature is also known as Station Hunting.
Conditions
• Idle Extension Hunting applies to:
Intercom, trunk, and doorphone calls to a single destination.
• An extension user can belong to only one idle extension hunting group.
• If all the searched extensions are busy:
The PBX redirects the call to an overflow destination which can be assigned for each idle extension
hunting group and each time mode (day/lunch/break/night) (→ 2.2.4 Time Service).
