(CPC-A; CPC-B Versions Prior to 2.0)

CPC-A and CPC-B Versions prior to 2.0 provide terminal and circular hunt 
groups.

With terminal hunt groups, a call must ring at the first extension in the group 
in order for hunting to be invoked.

If the first extension of the hunt group is busy, the call automatically transfers 
to the next extension in the group. If that extension is busy, the call continues 
to hunt through the group. The order in which the call hunts is determined by 
how the group is programmed. Up to eight extensions can be placed in the 
group, and calls will always hunt from member 1, to member 2, to member 3, 
and so on.

If desired, another hunt group can be designated to receive calls should all the 
members of the original group be busy or not answer.

A pilot number must be designated as the first extension in a terminal hunt 
group. A pilot number is a fictitious extension number that, when dialed, 
starts the hunting process through the group. In CPC-A and CPC-B Versions 
prior to 2.0, a pilot number can be provided by adding a resistor to an analog 
port. See “Hardware Requirements” for details.

With circular hunting, hunting is initiated by calling any extension in the 
group. If the called extension is busy, the call will hunt through the next 
members of the group until the end of the hunt group is reached. If the call 
reaches the end of the group without reaching an idle extension, it will 
transfer back to the first member of the group until one full circle is 
completed.

If desired, another hunt group can be designated to receive calls should all the 
members of the original group be busy.
