Considerations for Hunt Groups 1–6
Any number of extensions can be assigned to each Hunt Group. In
addition, extensions can be in more than one Hunt Group.
You can include multiple fax machines or answering machines in a Hunt
Group.
If you have a PARTNER MAIL system and multiple fax machines, you can
assign the fax machines to a Hunt Group. Then you can program the
PARTNER MAIL system so that when an automatic fax call comes in on a
line covered by the PARTNER MAIL’s Automated Attendant Service, the
PARTNER MAIL system recognizes that it is a fax call and automatically
transfers it to the first available fax machine in the group.
Considerations for Hunt Group 7
This Hunt Group is used exclusively for the extensions associated with the voice
messaging system hardware. Do not assign any other extensions to this group. A
voice messaging system requires special hardware and set up procedures—refer
to ‘‘Voice Messaging Systems’’ on page 4-28 and to the documentation shipped
with the voice messaging system for more information.
Considerations for Hunt Group 8
This Hunt Group is used exclusively for fax machines. Do not assign any other
extensions to this group.
When lines appear on a fax extension, you will want to make sure that the fax
machine does not automatically answer outside calls on these lines. There are
three ways you can do this:
Set the fax machine for delayed pickup.
Use Line Ringing to change the ring options on the fax extension to either
delayed ring or no ring.
(Recommended) Use Line Assignment (#301) to remove all outside lines
from the fax extension.
