Station Hunting 

■

Call Vectoring

You cannot assign a Vector Directory Number as a hunt-to station.

If a 

 command’s 

 

 directs a call to a busy station, the call 

follows the station’s hunt-to chain and not its coverage path. Refer to 
DEFINITY ECS Call Vectoring/EAS Guide or DEFINITY BCS and 
Guestworks Call Vectoring Guide for more information.

■

Call Waiting/Attendant Call Waiting

Station Hunting has precedence over Call Waiting. 

If a called extension has Call Waiting active, and the extension is already 
busy on a call, the system hunts the station-hunting chain. If the system 
cannot terminate the call to a member of the chain, then the call waits at the 
called extension.

If the system finds Call Waiting active at an extension in a station-hunting 
chain, it considers the extension busy and bypasses it.

■

Class of Restriction

The system checks the COR of the called extension; it does not check the 
COR of the hunt-to stations in the chain.

■

Distributed Communications System

Station Hunting is not a DCS feature. All members of a station-hunting 
chain must be on the same switch.

■

Do Not Disturb

When a phone has Do Not Disturb activated, a call to that phone goes to 
intercept treatment and not to station hunting.

■

Extension Number Portability

You cannot assign a remote ENP extension as a hunt-to station.

■

Hunting/Hunting Group

You cannot assign a direct departmental calling or Uniform Call 
Distribution extension as a hunt-to station.

■

Intercom Call

The system denies Station Hunting for intercom calls to a busy extension.

■

Leave Word Calling

If a caller initiates Leave Word Calling (LWC), the LWC message is left at 
the called extension even if the system uses Station Hunting in an attempt 
to complete the call.

■

Multimedia

Calls to multimedia endpoints must convert to voice before station hunting.
