The Line Hunting Number object defines a list of alternative numbers to try if the subscriber's line is busy when an incoming call arrives, as part of the Basic Line Hunting call service. Each number in the list is called in turn (in ascending order of hunt sequence number) until one is found that is not busy and can accept the call.
This object can be set up by the subscriber, or you can create, delete, or configure it using the EMS.
Each Line Hunting Number object is a child of a Call Forwarding Services object.

Description |
Hunt sequence number | Create | A sequence number to determine the order in which Line Hunting Numbers are called (in ascending order of sequence number). This must not match the hunt sequence number of any other Individual Line Hunting Number for this subscriber. You cannot change the sequence number after you have created this object. To allow for updates to the sequence, you may want to configure the sequence with gaps between sequence numbers (for example using sequence numbers 10, 20, 30 . . .), so that you can add more telephone numbers within the existing sequence if necessary. |
Number | Change | A telephone number to try when an incoming call arrives for this subscriber and the subscriber's line is busy. Specify the telephone number as a subscriber would dial it. For a Business Group Line you may need to include the external line code at the start of the number. |
