SETTING UP LINE HUNT GROUPS
A line hunt group is a set of lines that are available for making an outbound call.
It can use selected telephone lines, all VoIP lines associated with the TalkSwitch
VoIP network, or all VoIP lines associated with a service provider VoIP network.
The configuration has nine different line hunt groups. If a VoIP-enabled
TalkSwitch unit is present, line hunt group 88 uses the TalkSwitch VoIP network
by default, and the other line hunt groups use telephone lines. You can modify
these default settings as required. If you are using multiple service provider VoIP
networks, set up a line hunt group for each service provider.
A local extension can be restricted to a set of line hunt groups in order to control
access to VoIP networks. See
Hunt group permissions
in Chapter 2 of the
TalkSwitch User Guide
