Programming Hunt Groups
The Hunt Groups feature allows a group of Norstar sets to be called by a
single directory number ensuring that calls are easily routed to the
appropriate group.
Hunt Groups are used in situations where a group of people performing the
same task are required to answer a number of related phone queries. Some
typical uses of Hunt Groups are:
•
a sales department answering questions on product prices or
availability
•
a support department answering questions concerning the operation of
a product
•
an emergency department answering calls for help.
Hunt Groups can be used to route calls to a support service such as a Help
Line for a software company. Specialists dealing with Product A can be in
one group, and specialists dealing with Product B can be in another group.
Incoming calls hunt for the next available set in the group. If no set is
available, the call can be placed in a queue or routed to an overflow set.
The Hunt Groups subheading in system programming is the area where
programming changes are made to the following:
•
members of a group
•
position of a group member
•
what lines are assigned to a group
•
how incoming calls are distributed
•
how long the system looks for available members
•
where a call goes if all members are busy
The Incoming Line Group (ILG) functionality is now
accomplished through the Hunt Group feature. When
upgrading to Compact ICS 6.0 any lines previously
belonging to an ILG (CICS versions previous to 4.0) are
not automatically converted to broadcast Hunt Groups,
they must be programmed. Please refer to ‘‘Assigning or
unassigning lines to a group’’ on page 158.
