8.9. Hunt Group Network-wide Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

Hunting group destinations which can be reached internally, externally, or network wide are treated as call forwarding destinations, provided the hunt group parameter "Call forwarding for hunting group stations" (AMO SA) has been activated.
Call forwarding can be performed several times in sequence, for example, renewed call forwarding, call forwarding - no answer after a timeout or call forwarding busy, etc., under the same conditions as those for "normal" station multiple call forwarding.
For even load distribution within a network, you can configure a hunting group with network-wide stations. To achieve even load distribution in a cyclical hunting group allow every second hunting group station to activate call forwarding to another hunting group within the network.

LVAFTEXT Parameter

The parameter LVAFTEXT (leave hunt group after netw. member) makes it possible to maintain control in the hunting group when calls are distributed to external numbers (in other words, whether the hunting group should be left or not).
  • LVAFTEXT=Y
    When a call to a hunting group arrives at an external number or forwarded number, the call leaves the hunting group. The hunting group then no longer controls this call.
  • LVAFTEXT=N
    When a call is distributed within a hunting group, the system also checks for external numbers. The network-wide station is handled in the same way as an internal station. The hunting group maintains control in this case. Call forwarding (any type) is not performed when LVAFTEXT=N.
    The following hunting group sequence is possible for example: internal station -> network-wide station -> internal station.
    External subscribers can also be configured as hunting group stations. If the station does not answer, the call is redirected within the hunting group.
    If no pool has been configured in AMO DIMSU (see below) for systems including hunting group stations, there may be delays in recognizing when hunting group stations are free.
    This is especially true for external stations.
