Hunt Type 4
Use this procedure to assign one of the following hunt-type patterns to calling
groups:
■ Circular Hunting Pattern. The system distributes calls to group members
by hunting in a circular pattern for the first available extension after the one
that received the last call to the group.
■ Linear Hunting Pattern. The system searches for an available group
member in the order in which the extensions were assigned to the calling
group.
■ Most Idle Hunting Pattern. The system searches for the available
member that is “most idle.” This distribution scheme can be more equitable
than the circular hunting pattern.
