This feature enables the gateway to register all existing FXS ports with the same
phone number. Each incoming call will be routed to first available port in Linear or
Circular mode. User may configure all ports as members of the same Hunting Group
or it may configure different port combinations for more than one Hunting Group.
For example: Ports 1, 3 and 5 are members of the same Hunting Group, the rest of
the ports may have separate numbers and may be reached independently.
Any port, member of a Hunting Group that is not registered with a SIP account, will be
able to place outbound calls using the SIP credentials of the primary Hunting Group
port.
For example: Port 1, 3 and 5 are members of the same Hunting Group. Port 1 is
registered with a SIP account. Ports 3 and 5 are not registered. Ports 3 and 5 will be
able to place outbound calls using the SIP account of port 1.
Select appropriate value for Hunting Group feature. The original SIP account should
be set to Active while the group members should be set to the port number of the
Active Port.
Example configuration of a multiple Hunting group:
FXS Port #1: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID entered, Hunting group set to "Active"
FXS Port #2: SIP UserID and Authenticate ID left blank, Hunting Group set to "1"
