In-Depth Information
In this example, there are three ephones (5, 6, and 7), each with a single assigned DN (1000, 1500, and 2000).
The
ephone-hunt
hunt-tag
{
peer
|
sequential
|
longest-idle
} command is used to begin the configuration of an ephone hunt group
and specify that the call hunt pattern will be peer.
There are three call hunt patterns, as follows:
■
peer:
Configures hunting in a circular manner among the hunt group member DNs, starting with the DN to the right of the
last DN to ring.
■
sequential:
Configures hunting in a sequential manner, left to right, starting with the leftmost DN configured in the list.
■
longest-idle:
Specifies hunting based on how long DNs have been idle. In this case, the call will go to the DN that has been
idle the longest.
Next, the
pilot
number
command is used to specify the hunt group pilot number (that is, the number that callers dial to reach this hunt
group). In this example, the hunt pilot number is 5000. The
secondary
keyword can optionally be used to associate a second phone
number with the pilot. This second phone number can also include wildcards in the form of periods (.).
The members of the ephone hunt group are then defined using the
list
dn-number
[,
dn-number
...] command; the members in this
example are DNs 1000, 1500, and 2000.
The
final
final-number
command is then used to configure the final number to call in the hunt group (in this example, 6000). The
final number to call can be an ephone DN, a voicemail pilot number, a hunt group pilot, or an FXS number.
The following are some other useful ephone hunt group commands:
■
hops:
Configures the number of hops that a call to the hunt group proceeds before it is sent to the final number.
■
timeout:
Specifies the number of seconds after which an unanswered call is sent to the next member of the hunt group. The
default is 180 seconds.
■
max-timeout:
The maximum cumulative timeout for all ephone-dns in the group, after which the call is sent to the final
number.
