40 Chapter 3 - System FeaturesB14:C 6 !If any phone is unintentionally left off-hook, the phone will emit a “howler” tone so someonenearby will notice and hang it up. This feature can be enabled/disabled system-wide, and thetimer for it is also programmable. " !• Helps keep phones or trunk lines from being inadvertently tied up because someonedidn’t put the handset back in the cradle.86 <:8* !Calls can be automatically transferred to hunt groups, which consist of member positions #1 thru#20 to which extensions can be assigned (for example, Extension 201 is Member #1, Extension314 is Member #2, Extension 268 is Member #3, ... Extension 107 is Member #20). For eachhunt group, you can choose one of four different automatic hunting methods in programming:Pilot Terminal hunting. When a call is directed to the pilot number of the hunt group,Member #1 is tried first. Hunting proceeds forward through the sequential members to theend of the hunt group. If Member #20 (last member) doesn’t answer, the call then returns toMember #1 again, and the hunt cycle is repeated until a member answers the call.Pilot Distributed hunting. When a call is directed to the pilot number of the hunt group, thenext sequential member after the member who received the last call, is tried first. Huntingthen proceeds forward from that member, through the sequential members to the end of thehunt group. If Member #20 (last member) doesn’t answer, the call then goes to Member #1,and hunting proceeds forward through the hunt group again. The hunting cycle (Member #1thru Member #20) repeats until a member answers the call.Circular hunting. This is for direct calls to member extensions (no pilot number involved).Starting at the member extension receiving the call, hunting proceeds forward through thesequential members to the end of the hunt group. If Member #20 (last member) doesn’tanswer, the call then goes to Member #1, and hunting proceeds forward through the huntgroup again. The hunting cycle (Member #1 thru Member #20) repeats until a memberanswers the call.Switchback hunting. This is also for direct calls to member extensions (no pilot numberinvolved). Starting at the member extension receiving the call, hunting proceeds forwardthrough the sequential members to the end of the hunt group. It then returns to the receiving(originally called) member, and hunts backward through the members to the beginning ofthe hunt group. Then it returns to the receiving member again, and hunts forward. Thisreturn-forward/return-backward hunt cycle repeats until a member answers the call.The number of hunt groups available depends on how many cabinets you specify inprogramming (12 hunt groups per cabinet). Each hunt group can have its own uniquecharacteristics such as hunting method, no-answer timeout/destination, etc. In other words, viaprogramming you can control how long a Member will ring before the call moves to the nextMember, and also how long before (or whether) the call will be transferred out of the Hunt Groupto an extension or to another Hunt Group.
