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.
