Ring groups on the X6004 refer to grouping sets of extensions for:

telephones with the extensions in the group automatically pick up. It is similar to creating 
an automatic conference call. 

• Hunting -  the caller can simply dial a number to reach a group of extensions. The 

extensions ring based on a ringing method you configure. For example, all extensions can 
ring at the same time until the call is picked up or extensions in the group ring in a random 
order until the call is picked up.
