8800 Series IP Phone - Hunt Group

We are considering migrating from 7900 series phone to the 8800. On our current devices when a user is not logged into a hunt group it is displayed on the screen. With the 8800 we noticed the only way to tell your current status is to press the hunt group button. Is there anyway to bring back the notification for when a user is not logged in?
Thanks!

Prevent 'Logged out of Hunt Group' on 7900 series IP phones

I have a CUCM configuration on 8.2, and have an issue with some 7925 wireless devices that are set up in a "call flow" along side a pair of 7945 devices. If a call comes into either of those devices' extensions, after a set # of seconds of "no answer" "busy" condition, the call is set to move to a Hunt Pilot which then sends a broadcast out to a group of 6 7925 phones so those calls can be answered by staff. However, I ran into a situation yesterday where all but 1 of those devices was powered off, and the 1 powered on was logged out of the Hunt Group. As such, when calls came into either extension, it would ring 2-3 times and then the caller would get a busy tone. After some troubleshooting, we determined that logging that 7925 back into the Hunt Group remedied the problem.
In the interim, I have created a custom SoftKey Template for these devices which removes 'HLog' as an option so they can't inadvertently log out of said Hunt Group, but I have to wonder: are there any conditions under which either the CUCM platform, OR the phone device itself would force a logoff from the Hunt Group WITHOUT user intervention? If so, is there a way to prevent that from occurring?

Hi Josh,
This functionality was only added in CUCM 9.1
Automatically Logout Hunt Member on No Answer
Automatic logout of hunt members was introduced for queuing-enabled hunt pilots in Unified Communications Manager 9.0(1). If an agent does not answer a queuing-enabled hunt pilot call, that agent will be logged off of the hunt group and will not receive additional hunt pilot calls unless he presses the "HLOG" soft key on the phone to log into the hunt pilot. This behavior is not configurable in Unified Communications Manager 9.0(1). In Unified Communications Manager 9.1(1), the administrator can choose whether hunt members remain logged in if the call is not answered.
For more information, refer to "Automatically Logout Hunt Member on No Answer" in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide, and to "Call Queuing" in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide.

Have you thought about linking back to the first Hunt group if the members of Hunt#2 are unavalable
to give member 1 & 2 a second chance at taking the call? Just a thought

CUCM 9.0 Hunt-Group Phone( all phones in the hunt group) reset

Hi,
we have 7945 , 03 phones with attendanat consoles connected , all three phones get reset at the same time ,
this happens once each 4-5 days time, these three phones are conencted to LAN using two different switches ,
so it cannot be a problem with the switches , or conenctivity , ( other phones do not reset at that time , only these three phones which are in the same hunt group reset )
please advice us

Hi,
There is no option to check on your phone on who picked up the call in the pickup group. Please check the following link for the behavior of 89XX and 99XX IP phones

Hunt Group phones ring but caller gets silence

Hi,

You mean the call first hit other number like another DN then CF to the PP (Pilot Point) it doesnt work? Calling from PSTN or internally?
Please clarify

Hunt group type Set up with outside ext numbers ie Cell phones

Using CUCM 9.1
Is there a quick and easy way to create a hunt group type set up using outside (cell phone numbers)?
The scenario will be one (person who will be ON Call) using an internal DID that is forwarded to to a cell phone of the oncall person that particular week. If no answer it would forward to the next line group of 4 members and also try their cell phones. After this it would simply repeat the entire process. So far it looks like a solution may be possible with single line reach perhaps?
Any insight would be grealy appreciated.
Dave

Hello,
I set up something like this on CUCM 8.0 a couple of years ago.
I used the Mobile Connect feature as you suggest and it worked ok after some playing about with the timers.
The main problem was that there was no way for the remote users to log out of the hunt group. They could disable Mobile Connect using the IVR but the calls would still ring on their deskphones - if you log out of the phones (i.e. Extension Mobility) before leaving the office this problem should not occur.
The other issue was how long calls took to connect especially if a couple of people in the group did not answer. We actually recorded a message asking callers to be patient that was played when the call was first received (we were using UCCX to do the IVR and call transfer).
Hope this is of use.

Allowing CFA for a phone in a Hunt Group

I have CCM v5.13. Several users are members of a hunt group, and claim that they used to be able to call forward their phones and not receive any calls from the Hunt Pilot. I've made some changes to the Hunt Pilot, and ever since they say when they call forward their phones, it only works for calls made directly to their DID number , and that calls from the Hunt Pilot still ring on their phones.
I've researched this, and found Bug CSCec54565, which states that Cisco recognizes the issue, but has no plans to fix it. The recommended work around is to call the DID number directly, not through the Hunt Pilot. This doesn't work for my set up because these DID numbers are customer service lines which are published to the public.
I also found, in my research, solution # K00682545, which states that this Hunt Group is Working As Designed, and suggests the same work around, which is calling the DID directly.
My concern is the changes I made in the Hunt Pilot. I'm giving my users the benefit of the doubt when they say they used to be able to call forward all calls, whether they come from the Hunt Pilot or directly. I've set up a test Hunt Pilot, using our phones here in the shop, and I could duplicate their problem.
Can anyone think of a change I could have made in the Hunt Pilot settings that would bring this result, or are these users imaging that they could ever call forward all their incoming calls while belonging to a Hunt Group? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi Bethany,
CUCM Hunt Groups/Line Groups have worked this way since at least CCM 4.1(3) :) I never like to doubt users (not a great idea for job preservation) but...I don't see their claim being a valid one.
You have to keep in mind that a call that has routed via the Hunt Pilot will always ignore the CFWD Settings on Hunt Group Member phones. The normal way to control this then is via the Hunt Group Logout of member phones combined with the Hunt Pilot level forward settings.
The following describes how the Call Forward settings on individual Hunt member phones are ignored when presented a call via the Hunt feature. Here is a clip;
Hunting and Call Forwarding
The concept of hunting differs from that of call forwarding. Hunting allows Cisco Unified Communications Manager to extend a call to one or more lists of numbers, where each such list can specify a hunting order that is chosen from a fixed set of algorithms. When a call extends to a hunt party from these lists and the party fails to answer or is busy, hunting resumes with the next hunt party. (The next hunt party varies depending on the current hunt algorithm.) ***Hunting thus ignores the Call Forward No Answer (CFNA), Call Forward Busy (CFB), or Call Forward All (CFA) settings for the attempted party (Line Group member Phones).
From this good doc;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/admin/6_0_1/ccmsys/a03rp.html#wp1078922
This is where the Hunt Group Logout comes into play. Sadly I don't think any CUCM 5.x versions support this feature, but the users can look forward to this in your next release (6.X or 7.x)
Log Out of Hunt Groups
The Log Out of Hunt Groups feature allows phone users to log their phones out from receiving calls that get routed to directory numbers that belong to line groups to which the phone lines are associated. Regardless of the phone status, the phone rings normally for incoming calls that are not calls to the line group(s) that are associated with the phone. The phone provides a visual status of the login state, so the user can determine by looking at the phone whether they are logged in to their line group(s).
The Log Out of Hunt Groups feature also comprises the following components:
â¢The HLog softkey allows a phone user to log a phone out of all line groups to which the phone directory numbers belong. Configure the HLog softkey in the Softkey Layout Configuration window. When the user presses the HLog softkey, the phone screen displays "Logged out of Hunt Group." When the user presses the HLog softkey again to log back in and receive hunt group calls, the "Logged out of Hunt Group" notification on the phone screen clears.
â¢The Hunt Group Logoff Notification service parameter in the Clusterwide Parameters (Device - Phone) section of the Service Parameters Configuration window for the Cisco CallManager service must be configured to enable this feature.
The Log Out of Hunt Groups feature, which is device-based, operates differently for non-shared lines and for shared lines.

Error 779 shows up in ip phone when transfer to a hunt group failed.

We have a CME (C2800NM-SPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.4(24)T3. We have receptionist IP phone and a group of xx team phone setup. There is a hunt group for that group of xx team phones.
The receptionist phone is setup like this:

1. If calling the reception phone (either from PSTN, or internally in the same site from a phone regiestered to the same CME),   the receptionist can pick the phone and talk, no problem. But if the receptionist transfers the call to ext. 201 (the pilot of hunt group). Intermittently, a few times a week, the call drops after being transferred. The receptionist sees 779 on her display, the callers hears a message saying "There was a technical problem". It is not possible for the receptionist to take the call back. The client has to recall and then on the 2nd try to call is transferred OK.
If the receptionist transfer the call to the DN of individual member of the hunt group, transfer is good.
2. If caller calls the pilot direclty (either from PSTN, or from internal phone in the same CME), the caller experienced the same issue as in the transfer case.
If caller calls the number of individual memeber of the hunt group, there is no problem.

Group Pickup feature doesnt work when add the phones to a hunt group in BE3k

Hi All,
I have a blast group with pilot number 300 , there are two members ext. 600 and ext.601 in that blast group. I added these two extensions to Call pickup group and enable "Audio and Visual Alert". I also have a spare phone ext. 602.
when I dialed between extensions ext.600,601 and 602 , group pick up feature is woking and I can see "call available pickup " on the phone screen and hear the audio alert. But when I dial the hunt group pilot number 300 from spare phone ext.602 , both ext.600 and ext. 601 are ringing but I can't see call pickup indicators on the screen. I also tried "Opickup' on the phone but got "no call available for pickup" message on the screen.
Any ideas why and how to fix this issue?

Hi Billy
This is not supported. This support is being added for next release.

Hunt Group and Voice Mail - How?

Hello,
We are setting up a Hunt Group (Line Group, Hunt List, Hunt Pilot) for call distribution. We don?t want to use the Attendant console for this, we just want the calls distributed. We need to send some calls and broadcast them to different phones. We have it working but we have a need that if no one answers to send the call to voicemail.
The way we have it configured right now?
Line Group:
Broadcast Distribution
2 Lines ? Client Phone Lines
Hunt List:
Line Group Above
Hunt Pilot:
Number & Information Configured
Hunt List Above
What we planned on doing was to take and add a second line group with a single number that is forwarded to voicemail. Then in the hunt list, if no one answers the fist group, go to the second. The problem is, CTI Ports and CTI Route Points don?t seem to be able to be added to the Line Group.
Someone suggested that I add a ?fake? phone and forward the line to voicemail. I tried that and when I call that number it goes to voicemail but when I add it to the Line Group it rings fast busy when it rolls to it.
Any ideas?

I did understand you do not want the attendant console, which is why I said similar but using AC.
The key thing in my earlier reply is that the last member of my hunt group is another CTI routepoint with another DN which is the actual directory number I use in Unity as an alternate extension, but it might be that this does not work for you.
For your case it might be something like:
On the xisting CTI routepoint configure the forward no answer to VM (this works today, correct?)
Then add another CTI route point to your hunt list and configure that CTI route point with forward all to VM.
Then setup Unity with the DN for the first CTI route point and add the DN of the second CTI route point as an alternate extension.
That way I believe it will go to VM directly when no huntgroup members are available, and go to VM if no answer.
Again, this works for me, with the only difference my line group contains AC users and is not broadcast, but the principle would be the same I guess.
But I might be misunderstanding what you are trying to achieve. If so, I am sorry for misunderstanding ;-)
Thanks,
Leo

Voice mail as last stop for hunt group

Hello:
We have no ACD ability, so I have a hunt group set up with 3 extensions (one each as second line on each of 3 phones). If no one is available on any of the hunt extensions, I want it to go to a shared voice mail box.
Can anyone help me know if this is do-able and how (nothing I've tried has worked!). Using CM 6.1/Unity 5.0
Thank you,
Linda

Hi Linda,
This is most possible :) I'm going to add a touch to the great info from Tere (+5 points for this Tere)
In this example we are going to do what you are trying to do as well as Light the MWI Lamp on the phones within the Line Group when a Message is left for the group.
Lets say the Hunt Pilot number is 5000 and one of the second line DN's on the Line Group member phones is 2355. Set the Hunt Pilot to Forward (CFNA) to the Unity Pilot #.
If you don't use a Routing Rule as nicely suggested by Tere you can Create a mailbox for 2355 with 5000 as an Alternate Extension. When the call routes through to Unity via the Hunt Pilot No Answer Unity should see the CLID of 5000 which will then be connected to the Mailbox on 2355. This will take care of one of the Line Group Member phones but we want to light the Lamp on the second and third phone as well :)
Try setting the the DN's of the other two Line Group members as Alternate MWI's (in Unity) as well;
Setting Up Alternate MWIs for Extensions on the Same Phone System
Cisco Unity can activate alternate MWIs for extensions on the same phone system. Note that depending on the phones and phone systems, some additional phone system programming may be necessary. Refer to the installation guide for the phone system.
To enable alternate MWIs for extensions on the same phone system, do the following procedure for each subscriber who needs alternate MWIs.
To Set Up Alternate MWIs for Extensions on the Same Phone System
Step 1 In the Cisco Unity Administrator, go to the applicable Subscribers > Subscribers > Messages page.
Step 2 Confirm that the Use MWI for Message Notification check box is checked.
Step 3 Click the Add button located beneath the MWI Extensions table to add a row to the table. By default, the first row in the table contains an "X" to indicate the primary extension assigned to a subscriber. If you want one more extension and do not need to activate the MWI on the primary extension, you can also modify the first row.
Step 4 Enter the applicable extension in the Extension field of the table. MWIs are automatically enabled for all rows in the table. When entering characters in the MWI Extensions table, consider the following:
â¢Enter digits 0 through 9. Do not use spaces, dashes, or parentheses.
â¢Enter , (comma) to insert a one-second pause.
â¢Enter # and * to correspond to the # and * keys on the phone.
Step 5 Click the Save icon.
Step 6 Repeat Step 3 through Step 5 as necessary.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity/401/integration/guide/c50acu4x.html#wp1808513
Then tweak the Message Lamp Setting in CCM for the second Line appearances;
For the second Line Setting on (each phone)-
Line Settings for this Device - Changes affect only this device
Message Waiting Lamp Policy - Light and Prompt
The RED Message Lamp will then work for these Second lines on each phone.
Hope this helps!

CUCM 8.6 - Call Forward All Doesn't Work With DN In Hunt Group

Hello,
I'm trying to make a hunt group that's sole purpose is to dial out to our Help Desk member's cell phone (on-call after hours). The idea is that we want the hunt group to broadcast the call to the on-call engineers. Whoever picks up first takes the call.
At least that's the idea now. They may want to change that to - ring primary on-call cell phone, if no answer ring secondary on-call engineer.
The target cell phones will change every week and I wanted to give the supervisor a means of changing the numbers through the ccmuser page.
I created two DNs and placed them in a hunt group, each with call forward all to a cell phone number.
It seems that the hunt group ignores the call forward all setting and that is by design (https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/9126/cisco-callmanager-call-forward-all-cfa-does-not-work-if-line-hunt-group).
Does anyone else have any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

That's correct, what you're seeing is WAD, this topic has been discussed plenty of times before, the only option you have is SNR

Setting up Hunt Group using an extension number instead of a pilot number

Hi Guys,
I would like to set up a hunt group. My question is can I use a real extension number assigned to a phone to be a pilot number instead of creating a new pilot number.
The requirements are if no one is answering a call to an extension 1000 (extension 1000 is assigned to a user) it should be forwarded to 1001, 1002, 1003 and back to 1000. I was thinking of using 1000 as pilot number. Is that possible ?
Thanks Guys

Hi Guys,
Thank you very much for your suggestions. Here is what I have done:
With Manish's solution the call forwarding works upto the third phone then it got disengaged. Looks like there is a timer I need to increase so that the call will not time out. Could you please let me know which timer I have to adjust. I have checked the max forwards hops and they are set to 15-20 so don't think this is an issue.
With regard to Jamie's solution, I have created a separate partition and assigned same DN 1000 to it. It works great when I call from inside. However when I call it from outside using the full E164 number the call goes to 1000 then it just go to the voicemail of 1000 if not answered. I have removed the settings under DN page so that it will not go to voicemail. After doing this the phone with extension 1000 keeps ringing until it times out. Not sure where the issue is here.
I have given a suggestion to my customer to use a new pilot number with hunt groups. I have tested this as well. When I call it from outside the call goes to all the five phones and it just keep going into circle until someone answered and that's what I want. But when I call DN 1000 from inside it goes to all the five phones and when I reaches to the last phone configured under the line group member the call then just dropped out. Is there a way to fix this so that when someone just dial the extension number from inside all the phones keep ringing in circle manner and did not drop until someone has answered it.
Thanks a lot guys.
Regards

How to enable HLog for B-ACD Hunt Group

We are using B-ACD for imcoming calls, the hunt group for BACD has 5 members. I want people to be able to login/logoff from this hunt group.
I have this working with the DND button, but then the phone doesn't ring when the extension is dailed directly. So it seems the alternative is using another feature/button called "Hlog".
I've added the HLog softkey but nothing happens when its pressed. I can't seem to find instructions on what else might need to be done to enable HLog.

We still don't have Logging in and out of the BACD Hunt group working.
The #350 and *350 don't seem to work. On the phone when I dial them it connects for a second then disconnects, no feedback if it worked. But when I try calling our business number the phone still gets rung in the hunt group sequence. So the phone isn't getting logged out.
On some of the phones I can see the "HLog" button but when pressed it says "that key is not active here".

Finesse and broadcast hunt groups

Hi,
We have Cisco CCE with Finesse agent desktop. One of our ICM routing scripts is configured to send the call to a telephony hunt group label if no agents are available in Ready state.
The hunt group is a bradcast hunt group and all agent phones receive alert when a call to the hunt group label is placed. However when the call is ringing in Finesse, the caller ID actually lists all members of the hunt group. I can easily see that in the "Participants" XML tags on the Finesse server where multiple participants are listed.
Another problem is that when I answer the call from one Finesse agent desktop, all the other Finesse desktops show the same call as active on their screens with the option to End the call.
I know it is not a standard setup but we have a requirement to fall-back to telephony hunt groups if all agents are busy but an emergency call comes through.
Any suggestions how to fix this behavior?
Thanks!

I just checked this behaviour in My lab and it just works fine, you might be hitting some bug.
also what instead of broadcast, you use some other hunting mechanism. like longest idle or circular?
regards
Chintan

CSCth95017 - Configurable parameter on how callingparty is displayed for hunt groups.

Hello all,
The "fixed-in" versions for this bug are listed below;
Fixed in: (5)
9.0(0.98000.74),9.0(0.98000.21),8.6(4.98000.21)
8.6(2.21023.1),1.9(9.98000.16)
But the bug is related to firmware and the "fixed-in" versions look like CUCM versions;
Symptom:
As of phone load 9.x and higher, calls to a hunt pilot show the following format for the calling party on the ringing phone.
From 'Calling Party Name' for 'hunt pilot DN'
i.e. From John Doe for XXXX
The previous format was
From 'Calling Party Name' ('Calling Party Number')
i.e. From John Doe (XXX-XXX-XXXX)
Need a configurable parameter to change the format to the previous format if the customer desires.
Conditions:
Occurs on phone loads 9.0(x) and above.
Workaround:
Downgrade to 8.4.x
Can anyone clarify the "fixed-in" versions for this bug and where the versions are available for download.
Cheers!
Rob
"Always movin' ahead and never lookin' back" - Springsteen

Hi Rob, The original documentation highlighted this as a phone issue. You have a good eye to catch this. The ultimate resolution was committed on the server side. I updated the bug Release-note to include more information about the fix. You will see that in Bug Toolking and Bug Search Tool in 24-48 hours. Looks like it was necessary to change the information CUCM was sending out in order for the phones to leverage that information. Here is what I added to the bug: New Service Parameter : "Display Hunt Pilot Name or DN for Hunt Group Calls When Alerting" Default Value : True ? Default behavior will be new behavior from 8.x . For customers who want the previous behavior of 7.x will have to set this parameter to false after upgrade. Call Processing Fix from SCCP and SIP Side : - For Hunt Pilot calls, CUCM will not send Hunt Pilot URI to in outgoing INVITE when this service parameter is false but internally CUCM still treats this call as Hunt pilot call so that we do not break other features. - For Hunt Pilot calls, CUCM will send the HP URI to phone when this SP is true. For the versions above: 9.0(0.98000.74) - this is an internal nightly build (.98xxx.). this *may* get it included in 9.0(1) 9.0(0.98000.21) - this is an internal nightly build (.98xxx.). this *may* get it included in 9.0(1) 8.6(4.98000.21) - this is an internal nightly build (.98xxx.). this *may* get it included in 8.6(5) 8.6(2.21023.1) - this gets it fixed in 8.6(2) engineering special branch commonly referred to as es23. TAC can provide this to you. This *may* get it included in the next 8.6.2su that gets posted to Cisco.com. 1.9(9.98000.16) - this appears to be a typo. Regards, Wes
