Hunt Groups

A Hunt Group is a list of DN's associated with a Pilot DN. When the Pilot DN is dialed, the call is routed to the next idle DN in the group.

Two steps are required:


LD 18 - Build the list:

REQ NEW           New 
TYPE GHT          Group Hunt 
CUST 0 
LSNO XX           New List Number (0-254) 
DNSZ              Maximum Directory Number Size (length)
SIZE              Size of list, how many entries
STOR 00 XXXX      Entry number (0-999) and the digits stored with it
WRT  ↵            (YES) NO - data is correct and can be saved
STOR 01 XXXX      Continue with STOR entries until list complete...
WRT  ↵

LD 57 - Attach a Pilot DN to list:

REQ CHG 
TYPE FFC 
CUST 0 
CODE PLDN 
PLDN XXXX        Pilot Directory Number, must be unique
USE GPHT         this PLDN is for Group Hunting
LSNO XX          list number created in LD 18
HTYP             Hunt type: (LIN) or RRB
CFWI             (NO) YES = Skip DN if CFW Activated
MQUE             (ALL) = No limit on queued Calls
                 0 = No queued, 1 = Max. 1 call queued

Edit a list:

To add/remove a DN from a group hunt list, we need to know the list number (LSNO) and the store entry number (STOR) within the list.
Use this procedure if you get a SCH8825 message when changing a TN.

Print Group Hunt Lists in LD 20:

REQ PRT
TYPE GHT
LSNO             list number, or ↵ for all lists

Changes are made in LD 18.

REQ CHG
TYPE GHT
LSNO XX          enter the list number to edit, this is the GHLN from above
SIZE ↵
STOR XX YYYY     enter the store number, space, then the new DN number
WRT ↵            return (YES) to update the list

To remove an entry at the STOR prompt:

STOR XX <space>  enter the store number & space ↵
WRT ↵            hit return until back at REQ prompt


Notes:

LSNO - List Number can be any number
DNSZ - DN size = DN length, eg 4
SIZE - how many entries there be in the list (hunt group)
STOR - store hunt member DN's, up to the value of SIZE
Just C/R at WRT to save, as default response is YES
