Overview
A hunt group is a combination of the following elements:
Element | Description |
---|---|
Hunt Pilot | A hunt pilot comprises a string of digits (an address) and a set of associated digit manipulations that route calls to a hunt list. Hunt pilots provide flexibility in network design. They work in conjunction with route filters and hunt lists to direct calls to specific devices and to include, exclude, or modify specific digit patterns. |
Hunt List | A hunt list displays a set of line groups in a specific order, and then associates with one or more hunt pilots, and determines the order in which those line groups are accessed. The order defines the progress of the search for available directory numbers for incoming calls. A hunt list comprises a collection of directory numbers as defined by line groups. A hunt list can contain only line groups. Each hunt list should have at least one line group. Each line group includes at least one directory number. A single line group can appear in multiple hunt lists. |
Line Groups | Hunt groups provide a business context for the lines you choose as members of line groups. You will need to choose lines belonging to line groups, or any existing line groups that must be added to the hunt list members. A line group allows you to define the order in which directory numbers are chosen. CUCM distributes a call to idle or available members of a line group based on a call distribution algorithm and on the Ring No Answer (RNA) Reversion Timeout setting. |
The hunt pilot, hunt list, and line group combination are automatically associated via unique identifiers for the following:
Searches can be performed on any of the details of the hunt pilot.
The site defaults auto-populates some values for hunt groups. To view or update the defaults, go to (default menus) Site Management > Defaults, choose a site to view its defaults, and locate the Default CUCM Hunt Pilot Partition field on the General Defaults tab. See Site Defaults

Add a Hunt Group
This procedure adds a hunt group in VOSS Automate and Cisco Unified Call Manager (CUCM).
Note
When adding a hunt group, you will specify the parameters of the hunt pilot and the hunt list, and choose one or more new or existing line groups.
If your administrator has enabled number inventory, you can choose the hunt pilot pattern from a list of available numbers. If number inventory is disabled, you will need to specify a hunt pilot pattern, or choose from a limited selection of available numbers.
To allow the successful use of call forwarding in a hunt pilot, clear the defaults for Max Callers In Queue (32) and the default for Max Wait Time In Queue (900). To use queuing instead of call forwarding, change the default values, for example, to 33 and 901.
To add a hunt group:
Log in as site administrator or higher.
Choose the hierarchy (if necessary) where you want to add the hunt group.
Note
Hunt groups can be configured at the customer level or at site level.
Go to (default menus) Subscriber Management > Hunt Groups.
On the Hunt Groups list view, click Add.
Choose a network device list (NDL).
Note
For hunt groups configured at the customer level:
On the Hunt Groups/New Record page, fill out at least the required fields.
Click Save.
A workflow is triggered to add the new hunt group:
Configure a New Hunt Group
This section describes the configuration options when adding a hunt group. You will need to configure the following sections of the Hunt Groups/New Record page:
For hunt groups configured at the customer level, define a unique hunt pilot pattern. The hunt pilot pattern is added to the customer-level DN inventory and is marked as in-use and unavailable.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Hunt Pilot Pattern | Specify a hunt pilot pattern, or choose one from the the drop-down. A hunt pilot pattern can include numbers and wildcards (no spaces). wildcards (no spaces). For example, for NANP, enter 9.@ for typical local access, or 8XXX for a typical private network numbering plan. Valid characters include uppercase characters A, B, C, D, and + (representing the international escape character +). Ensure that the directory hunt pilot, which uses the chosen partition, route filter, and numbering plan combination, is unique. |
Route Partition | Choose a route partition from the list if you want to use a partition to restrict access to the hunt pilot, else, leave the field blank. |
Route Filter | If your hunt pilot includes the '@' wildcard, choose a route filter from the drop-down. Route filters restrict some number patterns. The numbering plan you choose determines the route filters you can choose from. |
Hunt List | Add the hunt list name to the Name field in the Hunt List section to auto-populate this field. |
Call Pickup Group | Choose a call pickup group to associate with this hunt group. Choose a call pickup group at the same hierarchy as this hunt group or if no call pickup groups are available at this hierarchy, choose a call pickup group at the hierarchy directly above. Call pickup group is the number that can be dialed to answer calls to this directory number (in the partition) |
Alerting Name | Specify an alerting name for the hunt pilot in UNICODE format. This name is displayed on phones that the hunt pilot dials when it receives an incoming call, along with calling party information. Phone users can use this information to answer the call This name also displays on the calling phone. If you don't enter a name, the hunt pilot DN displays on the phones. |
Provide Outside Dial Tone | Enable for each hunt pilot that routes the call off the local network and provides outside dial tone to the calling device. Disable if you want to route the call in the network. |
At Forward Hunt No Answer Action, choose the hunt call treatment action setting.
Choosing Forward Unanswered Calls to Destination enables these fields:
CFNA Destination | Defines the directory number where calls are to be forwarded. |
CSS CFNA | Applies to all devices using this directory number. The drop-down displays all CSSs in the system. The default is the default line CSS of the site. |
Choose Use Forward Settings of Device that Forwarded to Hunt Pilot to use the call forwarding settings of the line group member.
At Maximum Hunt Timer, specify the maximum time for hunting without queueing.
Note
Do not use the same value for this field and for the RNA Reversion Timeout field in the associated line group.
At Forward Hunt Busy Action, choose the hunt call treatment action setting.
Choosing Forward Busy Calls to Destination enables these fields:
CFB Destination | Defines the directory number where calls are to be forwarded. |
CSS CFB | Applies to all devices using this directory number. The drop-down displays all CSSs in the system. The default is the default line CSS of the site. |
Choose Use Forward Settings of Device that Forwarded to Hunt Pilot to use the call forwarding settings of the line group member.
At Queueing, define whether to queue calls. Selecting this checkbox disables Forward Hunt Groups, and displays additional configuration options.
Note
These mandatory fields are auto-populated with default values:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Name | Maximum of 50 alphanumeric characters, and can contain combination of spaces, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_). Ensure each hunt list name is unique to the route plan. it is recommended that you use short, descriptive names for your hunt lists. The CompanynameLocationCalltype format provides enough detail and is short enough so you can easily identify a hunt list. |
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Group | Choose a CUCM group from the list. The hunt list registers to the first node in the CUCM group. Choosing a CUCM with only one node configured triggers a system warning, so choose a group with more than one node. |
Enable this Hunt List | Defines whether to enable your hunt list as soon as you save. No system reset is required. |
For Voice Mail Usage | Define whether to use this hunt list for voicemail. Enabling this setting allows the route list control process to keep a count of the setups that are being served to the hunt list, and will not allow more setups than the number of available devices. As a result, each device in the hunt list is treated as if it has a Busy Trigger and related Maximum Number of Calls of one. |
Although you can configure an empty line group with no members (directory numbers), CUCM does not support this configuration for routing calls. If the line group contains no members, the hunt list stops hunting when the call gets routed to the empty line group. To avoid this scenario, ensure you configure at least one member in the line group.
You must define one or more directory numbers before configuring a line group. You can remove members from the line group after you configure or update the line group.
Note
For hunt groups configured at the customer-level, include lines defined at the customer level, and at any site within the customer.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Line Group Name | The drop-down displays all line groups available at the site. You can choose a line group from the list or enter a name for the line group in the field. Names you add can be up to 50 alphanumeric characters and can contain any combination of spaces, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_). Ensure that each line group name is unique to the route plan. It is recommended that you use a short, descriptive name for your line groups. The CompanynameLocationGroup format usually provides a sufficient level of detail, and is short enough to be easily identified. |
RNA Reversion Timeout | Specify a time, in seconds, after which CUCM will distribute a call to the next available or idle member of this line group or to the next line group if the call is not answered, and if the following option is chosen for Hunt Options No Answer: Try next number; then try next group in Hunt List The RNA Reversion Timeout applies at the line-group level to all members. |
Hunt Options No Answer | Choose a hunt option for CUCM to use if a call is distributed to a member of a line group that does not answer. This option is applied at the member level. |
Automatically Logout Hunt Member on No Answer | Defines whether line members are automatically logged off the hunt list. Line members can log back in using the "HLOG" softkey or PLK. |
Hunt Options Busy | Choose a hunt option for CUCM to use if a call is distributed to a member of a line group that is busy. |
Hunt Options Not Available | Choose a hunt option for CUCM to use if a call is distributed to an unavailable line group member. The Not Available condition occurs when none of the phones that are associated with the DN in question is registered. Not Available also occurs when extension mobility is in use and the DN/user is not logged in. |
To configure line group members:
Edit a Hunt Group
It is possible to edit hunt groups, for example, to add or delete line groups, or to add or delete line group members.
When modifying a hunt group, the following workflow is executed (depending on the changes you made):
The line group details are modified.
Any new line groups are added.
A removed line group is deleted only if it is the last instance. If a shared line group is removed, it is deleted from the specified hunt group only, but is still included in other hunt groups that are also using it.
If the hunt group uses existing line groups, the existing line groups are updated when the hunt group is modified.
The hunt list is modified.
The hunt pilot is modified.
Delete a Hunt Group
When deleting a hunt group, the following workflow is executed:
The line groups that are members of the hunt list are deleted (if they are not used by any other hunt group in the system).
If a shared line group is removed, it is deleted from the specified hunt group only, but is still included in other hunt groups that are also using it.

Hunt Group Configuration
Details for hunt groups are added or updated on the Hunt Groups/New Record [hunt group name] page in Automate.
Note
You can toggle the layout on this page via a toolbar button that allows you to view the page content as either tabs or panels.
Content is added or updated in the following tabs/panels:
For hunt groups configured at the customer level, the Pattern Definition tab/panel defines a unique hunt pilot pattern.
The hunt pilot pattern is added to the customer-level DN inventory and is marked as in-use and unavailable.
The table describes the fields on the Pattern Definition tab/panel:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Hunt Pilot Pattern | Mandatory. A hunt pilot pattern can include numbers and wildcards (no spaces). For example, for NANP, enter 9.@ for typical local access, or 8XXX for a typical private network numbering plan. Valid characters include uppercase characters A, B, C, D, and + (representing the international escape character +). Ensure that the directory hunt pilot, which uses the chosen partition, route filter, and numbering plan combination, is unique. |
Route Partition | Choose a route partition from the list if you want to use a partition to restrict access to the hunt pilot, else, leave the field blank. |
Route Filter | If your hunt pilot includes the '@' wildcard, choose a route filter from the drop-down. Route filters restrict some number patterns. The numbering plan you choose determines the route filters you can choose from. |
Hunt List | Add the hunt list name to the Name field in the Hunt List section to auto-populate this field. |
Call Pickup Group | The call pickup group to associate with this hunt group. Choose a call pickup group at the same hierarchy as this hunt group or if no call pickup groups are available at this hierarchy, choose a call pickup group at the hierarchy directly above. Call pickup group is the number that can be dialed to answer calls to this directory number (in the partition) |
Alerting Name | Specify an alerting name for the hunt pilot in UNICODE format. This name is displayed on phones that the hunt pilot dials when it receives an incoming call, along with calling party information. Phone users can use this information to answer the call This name also displays on the calling phone. If you don't enter a name, the hunt pilot DN displays on the phones. |
Provide Outside Dial Tone | Enable for each hunt pilot that routes the call off the local network and provides outside dial tone to the calling device. Disable if you want to route the call in the network. |
The table describes the hunt group configuration options on the Forward Hunt Busy tab/panel:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Forward Hunt Busy Action | The hunt call treatment action. Options:
|
CFB Destination | The directory number where calls are to be forwarded. Enabled only when the selected Forward Hunt Busy Action is Forward Busy Calls to Destination. |
CSS CFB | The line CSS, which applies to all devices using this directory number. The default is the default line CSS of the site. Enabled only when the selected Forward Hunt Busy Action is Forward Busy Calls to Destination. |
The table describes the hunt group configuration options on the Forward Hunt No Answer tab/panel:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Forward Hunt No Answer Action | Options for hunt call treatment:
|
CFNA Destination | The directory number where calls are to be forwarded. Enabled only when the selected Forward Hunt No Answer Action is Forward Unanswered Calls to Destination. |

Maximum Hunt Timer | The maximum time for hunting without queueing. Do not use the same value for this field and for the RNA Reversion Timeout field in the associated line group. |
The Queueing tab/panel defines whether to queue calls.
Note
Forward Hunt No Answer settings and Forward Hunt Busy settings define how calls are moved through the route list. On the other hand, Queuing settings are used to hold callers in a route list. Thus:
The table describes the hunt group configuration options on the Queueing tab/panel:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Queue Calls | Select this checkbox to enable call queueing for hunt groups. Enabling call queueing disables Forward Hunt Groups, and enables additional queueing configuration fields on the tab/panel. |
Network Hold MOH Source & Announcements | The Music On Hold (MoH) source that will be used to play announcements and to provide queue hold treatments. If nothing is selected (default), the default Network Hold MoH/MoH Source and Announcements configured on service parameter is used. The MoH source can be configured as unicast or multicast. Caller side's MRGL takes precedence for multicast or unicast. The MoH source announcement locale is used to determine the language used for the announcement. Only one type of language announcement can be played per hunt pilot. When any of the MoH settings are changed, the existing callers in queue are not affected. All future queued callers will listen to MoH and announcements as per the updated settings. |
Maximum Number of Callers Allowed in Queue | Auto-populated with default value, 32. Range value is from 1 to 100. When the maximum number of callers in the queue is reached, and if subsequent calls need to be disconnected, select "Disconnect the call". When the maximum number of callers in the queue is reached, and if subsequent calls need to be routed to a secondary destination, select the "Route the call to this destination" radio button. Provide a specific device DN, shared line DN, or another Hunt Pilot DN. You may also select the "Full Queue Calling Search Space" from the drop-down (optional). |
Maximum Wait Time in Queue | Auto-populated with default value,``900``. |
Queue Full Destination | Where to route calls when the maximum number of callers in the queue is reached. If you don't configure this secondary destination then calls are disconnected if the queue is full. |
Field | Description |
---|---|
Name | Maximum of 50 alphanumeric characters, and can contain combination of spaces, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_). Ensure each hunt list name is unique to the route plan. it is recommended that you use short, descriptive names for your hunt lists. The CompanynameLocationCalltype format provides enough detail and is short enough so you can easily identify a hunt list. |
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Group | Choose a CUCM group from the list. The hunt list registers to the first node in the CUCM group. Choosing a CUCM with only one node configured triggers a system warning, so choose a group with more than one node. |
Enable this Hunt List | Defines whether to enable your hunt list as soon as you save. No system reset is required. |
For Voice Mail Usage | Define whether to use this hunt list for voicemail. Enabling this setting allows the route list control process to keep a count of the setups that are being served to the hunt list, and will not allow more setups than the number of available devices. As a result, each device in the hunt list is treated as if it has a Busy Trigger and related Maximum Number of Calls of one. |
It is recommended that you configure at least one line group member (directory number) for every line group you add. Before configuring the line group, you will need to add one or more directory numbers.
Note
Although it is possible to configure an empty line group (no members), CUCM does not support empty line groups for routing calls. If the line group has no members the hunt list stops hunting when the call is routed to the empty line group.
Note
For hunt groups configured at the customer-level, include lines defined at the customer level, and at any site within the customer.
The Line Groups tab/panel displays the line groups configured for the hunt group, with the following detail available for each line group:
The Line Group Configuration dialog allows you to add details for a new line group or to update an existing line group. Click on a line group in the table, or click the Plus (+) icon to open the Line Group configuration dialog to add the new record.

The Not Available condition occurs when none of the phones that are associated with the DN in question is registered. Not Available also occurs when extension mobility is in use and the DN/user is not logged in. Choose from the options in the drop-down list box: Try next member; then, try next group in Hunt List—If you choose this hunt option, Cisco Unified Communications Manager distributes a call to idle or available members starting from the first idle or available member of a line group to the last idle or available member. If unsuccessful, Cisco Unified Communications Manager then tries the next line group in a hunt list. Try next member, but do not go to next group—If you choose this hunt option, Cisco Unified Communications Manager distributes a call to idle or available members starting from the first idle or available member of a line group to the last idle or available member. Cisco Unified Communications Manager stops trying upon reaching the last member of the current line group. Skip remaining members, and go directly to next group—If you choose this hunt option, Cisco Unified Communications Manager skips the remaining members of this line group upon encountering the first unavailable member. Cisco Unified Communications Manager proceeds directly to the next line group in a hunt list. Stop hunting—If you choose this hunt option, Cisco Unified Communications Manager stops hunting after trying to distribute a call to the first unavailable member of this line group. Default: Try next member; then, try next group in Hunt List |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
RNA Reversion Timeout * | Enter a time, in seconds, after which Cisco Unified Communications Manager will distribute a call to the next available or idle member of this line group or to the next line group if the call is not answered and if the first hunt option, Try next member; then, try next group in Hunt List, is chosen. The RNA Reversion Timeout applies at the line-group level to all members. Default: 10 |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Distribution Algorithm * | Choose a distribution algorithm, which applies at the line-group level, from the options in the drop-down list box: Top Down—If you choose this distribution algorithm, Cisco Unified Communications Manager distributes a call to idle or available members starting from the first idle or available member of a line group to the last idle or available member. Circular—If you choose this distribution algorithm, Cisco Unified Communications Manager distributes a call to idle or available members starting from the (n+1)th member of a route group, where the nth member is the next sequential member in the list who is either idle or busy but not "down." If the nth member is the last member of a route group, Cisco Unified Communications Manager distributes a call starting from the top of the route group. Longest Idle Time—If you choose this distribution algorithm, Cisco Unified Communications Manager only distributes a call to idle members, starting from the longest idle member to the least idle member of a line group. Broadcast—If you choose this distribution algorithm, Cisco Unified Communications Manager distributes a call to all idle or available members of a line group simultaneously. See the Note in the description of the Selected DN/Route Partition field for additional limitations in using the Broadcast distribution algorithm. The default value specifies Longest Idle Time. Default: Longest Idle Time |

Hunt Options No Answer * | For a given distribution algorithm, choose a hunt option for Cisco Unified Communications Manager to use if a call is distributed to a member of a line group that does not answer. This option gets applied at the member level. Choose from the options in the drop-down list box: Try next member; then, try next group in Hunt List—If you choose this hunt option, Cisco Unified Communications Manager distributes a call to idle or available members starting from the first idle or available member of a line group to the last idle or available member. If unsuccessful, Cisco Unified Communications Manager then tries the next line group in a hunt list. Try next member, but do not go to next group—If you choose this hunt option, Cisco Unified Communications Manager distributes a call to idle or available members starting from the first idle or available member of a line group to the last idle or available member. Cisco Unified Communications Manager stops trying upon reaching the last member of the current line group. Skip remaining members, and go directly to next group—If you choose this hunt option, Cisco Unified Communications Manager skips the remaining members of this line group when the RNA reversion timeout value elapses for the first member. Cisco Unified Communications Manager then proceeds directly to the next line group in a hunt list. Stop hunting—If you choose this hunt option, Cisco Unified Communications Manager stops hunting after trying to distribute a call to the first member of this line group and the member does not answer the call. Default: Try next member; then, try next group in Hunt List |

Automatically Logout Hunt Member on No Answer | If this check box is checked, line members will be logged off the hunt list automatically. Line members can log back in using the "HLOG" softkey or PLK. |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hunt Options Busy * | For a given distribution algorithm, choose a hunt option for Cisco Unified Communications Manager to use if a call is distributed to a member of a line group that is busy. Choose from the options in the drop-down list box: Try next member; then, try next group in Hunt List—If you choose this hunt option, Cisco Unified Communications Manager distributes a call to idle or available members starting from the first idle or available member of a line group to the last idle or available member. If unsuccessful, Cisco Unified Communications Manager then tries the next line group in a hunt list. Try next member, but do not go to next group—If you choose this hunt option, Cisco Unified Communications Manager distributes a call to idle or available members starting from the first idle or available member of a line group to the last idle or available member. Cisco Unified Communications Manager stops trying upon reaching the last member of the current line group. Skip remaining members, and go directly to next group—If you choose this hunt option, Cisco Unified Communications Manager skips the remaining members of this line group upon encountering a busy member. Cisco Unified Communications Manager proceeds directly to the next line group in a hunt list. Stop hunting—If you choose this hunt option, Cisco Unified Communications Manager stops hunting after trying to distribute a call to the first busy member of this line group. Default: Try next member; then, try next group in Hunt List |

Hunt Options Not Available * | For a given distribution algorithm, choose a hunt option for Cisco Unified Communications Manager to use if a call is distributed to a member of a line group that is not available. The Not Available condition occurs when none of the phones that are associated with the DN in question is registered. Not Available also occurs when extension mobility is in use and the DN/user is not logged in. Choose from the options in the drop-down list box: Try next member; then, try next group in Hunt List—If you choose this hunt option, Cisco Unified Communications Manager distributes a call to idle or available members starting from the first idle or available member of a line group to the last idle or available member. If unsuccessful, Cisco Unified Communications Manager then tries the next line group in a hunt list. Try next member, but do not go to next group—If you choose this hunt option, Cisco Unified Communications Manager distributes a call to idle or available members starting from the first idle or available member of a line group to the last idle or available member. Cisco Unified Communications Manager stops trying upon reaching the last member of the current line group. Skip remaining members, and go directly to next group—If you choose this hunt option, Cisco Unified Communications Manager skips the remaining members of this line group upon encountering the first unavailable member. Cisco Unified Communications Manager proceeds directly to the next line group in a hunt list. Stop hunting—If you choose this hunt option, Cisco Unified Communications Manager stops hunting after trying to distribute a call to the first unavailable member of this line group. Default: Try next member; then, try next group in Hunt List |
