Extending Hunt Pilot ring timer

I have used the "Maximum Hunt Timer" option to attempt to extend the ring time for a set of phones in a broadcast hunt pilot. However irrespective of the time I set it will not ring the phones more than about 3 times. In addition the field does not allow me to set the value to more than 3 digits. The documentation states that the valid range foes from 1 to 3600 seconds. Is there some other parameter that I need to modify to allow the phones to ring longer than they currently are? In addition is it necessary to provide an outside dial tone (thats the default option)?
Setup
CM BE 6.1
HP used to ring several phones at a branch location.

Thanks a lot this fixed my proble. I adjusted that timer and the phones rang accordingly.

  • Support Line - Call Forward All through Hunt Pilot to cell phone

    I know I may be beating a dead horse, but I've found so much help in these forums that I figured I'd give it a shot.
    We have a Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition and we are running into a configuration issue. What we would like to do is to create an emergency support line for our IT staff. The way we would like this to function is that a caller dials a number, CM accepts the call and dials out to our IT staff's cell phone numbers in a round-robin fashion. To avoid the caller getting dumped into the IT staff's voice mail on their cells, we would like the staff member to have to dial a number to accept the call. If there is no answer, the call rolls to the next cell number. If no one is available, the caller should be directed to Unity Connection to leave a message. Unity then will send out text and email messages to the support staff.
    I know that we can use Unity to perform an assisted transfer, which will require the user to press "1" to accept the call, and we are able to get Unity to send out the notifications (text and email) when a voice message is left. The issue is with Call Manager making the outbound calls to the cell phones.
    What we have attempted is to setup DNs that call forward all to the users cell numbers. These DNs have been added to a Line Group, which has a Hunt Pilot attached to it. Any time this pilot is called, we get a reorder. Using the DNA, we see that "no device is associated with the DN", which is under the DN for the first users cell forward. If we add that DN as a second line to that users IP Phone (7940), then the call into the Hunt Pilot rings that line on the IP phone, not the CFA to the cell phone.
    After weeks of digging around, it seems as though CFA in a Hunt is just not possible. My boss wants official word from Cisco about this, but TAC doesn't seem to want to help due to service contract issues (which blows my mind, as we have opened several cases in the past two months for configuration related issues). Our Business Edition came with Contact Center Xpress, although we do not have the resources available to install it. If CCX will carry out this task, that might be enough to push management into getting another server to support this, but without being able to play around with it, I don't know.
    If anyone has any suggestions on how to make this work, I would GREATLY appreciate the help!
    Thanks in advance,
    -Geoff

    Hi Geoff,
    Always interesting isn't it :)
    Call Forward settings on individual Hunt member phones are ignored when presented a call via the Hunt feature. Here is a clip;
    The concept of hunting differs from that of call forwarding. Hunting allows Cisco CallManager 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) or Call Forward Busy (CFB) settings for the attempted party. This also applies to CFWD ALL settings.
    From this doc;
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_administration_guide_chapter09186a00803edabe.html#wp107892
    So, any Forwarding settings have to be done on the Hunt Pilot itself. These Destination settings (on the Hunt Pilot) need to be configured to go to the Unity Voicemail Pilot # or perhaps this is where you Forward out to the Cell #;
    Hunt Forward Settings
    Forward Hunt No Answer - When the call that is distributed through the hunt list is not answered in a specific time, this field specifies how to forward the call.
    Destination This setting indicates the directory number to which calls are forwarded. (This can be the Directory Number of the Unity VM Pilot)
    Forward Hunt Busy - When the call that is distributed through the hunt list is busy in a specific time, this field specifies how to forward the call.
    Destination This setting indicates the directory number to which calls are forwarded. (This can be the Directory Number of the Unity VM Pilot)
    Maximum Hunt Timer - Enter a value (in seconds) that specifies the maximum time for hunting.(Used in conjunction with Forward Hunt Busy)
    Maybe you could leverage these Unity Connection configs to achieve your desired results. These will ensure that the Message is not left unattended;
    Cascading Message Notification
    Cascading message notification allows you to send notifications to a widening circle of recipients. Cisco Unity Connection continues to send notifications according to the devices you selected until the message has been saved or deleted by a recipient.
    For example, to create a cascade of message notifications for your Technical Support department,
    Chaining Message Notification
    Message notification can be set to "chain" to a series of notification devices if an attempt to send notification to the first selected device fails. The definition of failure to a notification device is based on the options you select for retrying a device that is not answered or is busy.

  • Hunt Pilots Cut out after 4 rings?

    Hello
    The normal extensions seem ok but the hunt pilots seem to stop ringing after 4 rings. I have checked the 'Forward Hunt No Answer' settings and these do not seem to be configured. It seems to happen on every hunt pilot so I am wondering if its a global setting?
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    Have you checked the RNA Reversion Timer on the Line Groups
    along with the Maximum Hunt timer on the Hunt Pilot itself ?
    Cheers!

  • HT1689 How can I extend the number of times my phone rings before going to answerphone

    How can I extend the number of times my Iphone 4s rings before it goes to answerphone

    Call you carrier and ask them how you can change this.  The number of rings before voicemail kicks in is set by your carrier.  Some have the option to do it from your phone if you know the sequence of codes to send, but you need to ask your own carrier how to do it for their system.

  • How do I extend ring time on calls?

    How do I extend ring time on calls?

    Are you asking about how long before it goes to voicemail? If that is the question, then you need to contact your carrier. They are the ones that control that. It is not done at the phone level, that is carrier level settings. It is not based on rings, it is based on time. They may be able to extend it for you.

  • How do I extend the ring time before answering the phone

    I want to extend the ring time on my iPhone as it currently only rings for 5 seconds and then goes to message.

    The following works on my iPhone, enter the code...
    **61*901*11*NN# Send
    Where NN is the number of seconds, in increments of 5, to a maximum of 30 seconds.

  • How to extend ringer time

    I'm pretty sure the iPhone, like all phones, is set at a default ring time of 20 seconds. Is there any way on my own that I can manually extend the ring time to the maximum 30 seconds or do I have to call Apple customer service. If so what is the number I can call?

    Here is what i know about the ringer time.
    First type *#61#{SEND}. Your iPhone will show where your voicemail calls are being to sent to. Write down the number as for you will need later. Second type {STAR} {STAR} 61 {STAR}{the number you just wrote down}**30#{SEND}. When you get the confirmation dismiss it. Finally, check that your calls are still being forwarded to the correct number. Type *#61#{SEND} and verify its the same number as before.
    There you have it, your now 30 second ringer.
    Where you see {STAR} it means *, i couldnt get it to show it correctly.

  • N97 extend ring time

    I have an N97 (unbranded) on O2. The ringing time seems to be set for 15 seconds, although I cannot find any way of changing this.
    By the time I've managed to get my phone out of my pocket, and figure out how the unlock thing actually works and answer the call, the 15 seconds is up! I've not managed to answer a single call since I've got my N97!
    Any clues on extending the ringing time?

    Go to Menu>Settings>Call>Call divert>Voice calls>All voice calls>Activate>To voice mailbox, then you should be able to select a ringing time up to 30 seconds.
    However, this setting is not in the phone itself, it sends a code to the network call servers which may in rare cases override your setting; but this normally works.

  • Time schedule hunt pilot

    Hi all,
    please share your knowledge, how to configure the hunt pilot which will forward a call to phone A in one time, then another time will forward to phone B
    thank you so much
    Regards,
    Acer

    Hi Acer,
    You need to configure ToD (Time of Day routing) to route calls to different numbers, depending on time.
    The following docs will assist you with the configuration.

  • Extending the ring time on nokia 6120

    Can anyone please help with the code or how to change the length of the ring time on nokia 6120

    As others have pointed out, this is a newtork feature.
    The GSM standard allows for ring times from 5 to 30 seconds in 5 second increments. You can set it by going into your phone's call divert settings, more precisely the "call divert if no answer" setting. Set it to divert to voicemail, and you will be asked to select a delay from 5 to 30 seconds. Once you've done that, the phone sends a command to your network telling it to wait however many seconds before shunting inbound calls to voicemail.
    Note that some networks override the setting you give here. If this is the case here you'll need to phone your operator and ask them if there's anything they can do.

  • Hunt Group Rings Fast Busy After First Member

    I created a Hunt Group per Cisco documentation that included Line Group, Hunt List and Hunt Pilot. The Line Group is setup with RNA Reversion Timeout at 5, Distribution Algorithm - Top Down, Hunt Options all set to - Try next member, but do not go to next group. I have 4 extensions in the Line Group Members list.
    The issue I am having is that if I call the pilot number, the first extension in the Line Group Members list rings three times then goes to fast busy and never gets to the second line in the Line Group Members list.
    Currently running UCS 8.6.2.20000-2
    Any input or thoughts is welcomed.

    Hi Wes.
    This is the normal behaviour of a line group.
    A workaround you can use is create another Line Group with the same extensions and the same selection order, another Hunt List and a new pilot.
    Than you can use CFW no answer from one pilot to the other so that you can reiterate the hunting between line groups

  • HUnt Pilot Forward

    Hello,
    I have setup a hunt pilot number for a team but they are now asking how they can forward the hunt pilot number to a mobile number if all team members are out of the office.
    I am using CUCM7       
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi Andrew,
    I'll add another option to the good tips from Greg (+5 G-man! )
    My vote is to use a phone that actually has the "Listed" Hunt DN as the
    primary line. And use Call Forward All to control the forward when all line group
    member's are out of the office request. Here's why;
    The next set of questions/requests from the users will inevitably be as follows;
    - my Mobile rings during the day for Hunt calls...I don't want that!
    - we want to change the "after hours" Mobile number every week.
    - Jane's Mobile was lost at the club ....can we change the Mobile #
    - everyone is off sick today can we forward to another number all together.
    - we just want forward the calls to voicemail this weekend cause everyone is going camping.
    - we want to be able to change the forward "after hours" number remotely.
    - my Mobile was ringing at 2:00AM ...how to we turn off the forwarding really late at night.
    Hahahahahahaha you see where I'm going with this.
    Just let the users control all these things via accessing ccmuser and changing
    the Call Forward All on the Hunt DN and you won't have to manage these requests
    some of which you won't be able to accomplish without this type of set up.
    If the Hunt Pilot was 6000 for example, just change the Hunt Pilot to some other number like 4422
    and set up 6000 on the phone. Set the Forward No Answer (internal/external) to 4422 with a RNA timer
    of 1 second so whenever there is no Call Forward All set the calls will route to the Hunt group @ 4422.
    And when they want to set the Call Forward all they could use the phone or ccmuser
    Cheers!

  • CCUM 8.X HUNT PILOT to VM

    Experts,
    I would like to set up hunt group (including 3 extensions) with no answer to the VM, so what I did after spending long time:
    1) Configured Line group
    2)Configured Line List
    3)Configured Hunt Pilot
    4)created CTI user with VM and in hunt pilot:Forward Hunt No Answer to CTI extension with VM CSS is right, Forward Hunt Busy same thing.  When I dial CTI user I have call redirected to the VM however when I use hunt pilot number all is ok phones ring but I get the final redirected to the main VM greeting "Hello Cisco Unity messaging system from the touch phone you might dill extension any time otherwise ...... "
    is there way to fix it or use other way to use hunt pilot with VM ?
    Thank You

    Hi there,
    Sorry for the delay :) This should be all you need to do under the existing mailbox (2355 in our example)
    To Add an Alternate Extension to an Individual User Account
    Step 1 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, find the user account for which you want to add an alternate extension.
    Step 2 On the Edit menu, select Alternate Extensions.
    Step 3 On the Alternate Extensions page, select Add New.
    Step 4 On the New Alternate Extension page, in the Phone Type list, select the applicable phone.
    Step 5 In the Display Name field, enter a description of the alternate extension.
    Step 6 In the Phone Number field, enter the phone number of the alternate extension.
    Step 7 Select Save.
    Cheers!

  • Extend number of rings

    how do i extend the number of rings in the call manager before the calls goes to voicemail?
    currently, its is 4 rings, how do i extend to 6.          

    End users are requesting ability to change ring duration on the fly? I haven't come across this in all my years....... I don't see real life scenario.
    I can't currently change the ring duration on my mobile......
    I don't remember being able to do so with POTS home service back in the day.......
    Not sure why adjusting ring during throughout the day would be an ideal solution either though now that I'm thinking about it....... I tend to think between CFwdAll, DND, remote profiles, (possibly) Jabber or LYNC integrated, mobility/remote destination, hunt groups, dual/multi lines, etc etc etc a more desirable and static design could provide the required benefits and more........
    At times I like to break it down to what IPT really is when discussion focus around a "seems-it-should-be-simple" feature (e.g. adjust ring timer) from legacy phone environment......... bring up that where a traditional ring was standard operations in IPT world its a feel good comfort: a audio file being played when a call connection request is made. similar to the dial tone: ipt phones don't really have a dial tone what end users hear is a looped audio file as a creature comfort.........
    Hope that helps support your users :)
