which you added it to the group. For calling groups, all phones ring 
simultaneously.

In linear and circular hunt groups, calls ring sequentially on telephones in 
the group, but the behavior differs when the time specified in the Total 
Timeout field elapses:

■

If the Total Timeout value is less than the sum of all of the Per-Device 
Timeout values, a call that is routed to either a linear and circular hunt 
group rings on some, but not all of the telephones in the group and 
then is routed to the group’s call coverage point.

■

If the Total Timeout value is greater than the sum of the Per-Device 
Timeouts:

■

For a Linear Hunt Group, the call rings in order on each group 
telephone and then goes to the group’s call coverage point. Any 
time remaining in the Total Timeout is ignored, and the call does 
not ring again on any telephone in the group.

■

For a Circular Hunt Group, the call rings in order on each group 
telephone and then, for the remainder of the Total Timeout, begins 
ringing again through the telephones, in order. Depending on the 
Total Timeout value, an unanswered call may ring through all 
telephones in the group multiple times.

When a second call is routed to a linear or circular hunt group, the 
telephone on which the second call first rings is different:

■

For Linear Hunt Group, the new call rings on the first telephone in the 
group.

■

For a Circular Hunt Group, the new call rings on the telephone that is 
next in the ringing sequence.

In this special type of hunt group, an incoming call rings on all telephones 
in the group simultaneously. After the Total Timeout value is reached, a 
call that is still unanswered is routed to the group’s call coverage point. 

The value in the Per Device Timeout field has no effect on the behavior of 
telephones in a calling group.
