This feature enables the HT704 to register all existing FXS ports with the same phone
number. Each incoming call will be routed to first available port in Linear or Circular
mode. User may configure all ports as members of the same Hunting Group or it may
configure different port combinations for more than one Hunting Group. For example:
Ports 1, 3 and 5 are members of the same Hunting Group, the rest of the ports may
have separate numbers and may be reached independently. Any port, member of a
Hunting Group that is not registered with a SIP account, will be able to place outbound
calls using the SIP credentials of the primary Hunting Group port.
For example: Port 1, 2, and 3 are members of the same Hunting Group. Port 1 is
registered with a SIP account. Ports 2, and 3 are not registered. Ports 2 and 3 will be
able to place outbound calls using the SIP account of port 1. Select appropriate value
for Hunting Group feature. The original SIP account should be set to Active while the
group members should be set to the port number of the Active Port.
Example configuration of a Hunting group:
FXS Port #1: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID entered, Hunting group set to "Active"
FXS Port #2: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to "1"
FXS Port #3: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to "1"
FXS Port #4: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID entered, Hunting group set to "None"
Hunting Group 1 contains ports 1, 2, 3. FXS port 4 is registered but it is not added to
the Hunting Group 1.
