Hunt group in CUCDM is ringing first extension in list when set to broadcast?

I'm working with CUCDM 8.1.3+er1.
We have a Hunt Group setup that rings 4 extensions through broadcast. Each of these 4 users have each others line appearances on their phones too.
Hunt Group example:
0 - User1
1 - User2
2 - User3
3 - User4
Problem is, when the hunt group is called the call will show up under User1 (or whoever is first on the list) and not actually everyone's line. I can change the order and the hunt group call will then ring only their line instead of broadcasting it out to the 4 users at the same time.
Is this a bug or a limitation on the platform? Where we cannot have users with line appearances of other users in the same hunt group...

Hi
This configuration sounds odd - why do you need a broadcast hunt group when a call to any extension will ring all the phones anyway due to the shared lines?

  • 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.

  • CCME Call Forward from one Hunt Group to another Hunt Group Failure

    Hi I have a couple of hungroups in Cisco Call Manager Express. I am trying to configure a Call Forward no answer from one hunt group to another. Does anybody know if this is possible? If so, is there a config available? Here is my config, but it is not working.

    Hi Derek,
    This is supported with the restriction shown below;

    Defines the last extension in a voice hunt group.
    If a final number in one hunt group is configured as a pilot number of another hunt group, the pilot number of the first hunt group cannot be configured as a final number in any other hunt group.

    You can see that in group 1 and 2 there are 2 ephone-dn (102 and 103).
    I need that a description can be added to "phone displays" to provide hunt group information associated with ringing and answered calls.
    for example: I call the pilot number of hunt-group 2, and the display of telephone with number 102 or 103 show, for example, the pilot telephone number.
    In the command reference, this is documented with description command but it seems doesn't work. The telephone are 7912 and 7940.
    Any idea?
    thanks
    Diego

    Diego,
    The description under ephone-hunt should only for documentation purpose. I think what you can possibly do here is to add two directory entries for each hunt pilot with the appropriate nmaes PostOperatore and Numero_Verde. Under telephony-service give the command "Service dnis dir-lookup". Based on the number the Original called party dialed, you should get a display name at the bottom of the LCD screen of a 7940 or 7960 showing the name of the original called number. I havent tested this with hunt groups. Just an idea. Let me know if that works by rating the posts.
    PS: Make note of what changes you make, in case you need to revert back. Also take a back up of your old configs.

  • CUPC Incoming Call from Hunt Group

    Hi all!
    Is is possible that I can see whenever someone calls me on my extension, or whenever a call comes in from a hunt group? Can I differ the incoming calls?
    Regards
    Rene           

    Are you talking about the attendant console hunt group? If yes, then you can do this by using the broadcast hunting feature. What it does is, all calls to the hunt pilot will be placed in queue and will be displayed in the Broadcast calls window within the Attendant Console. All uses can see the calling number of calls in queue and pick and chose the calls they want to answer.

  • 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

  • Extension not ringing in hunt group

    Callmanager 8 environment (2 subs, 1 pub). There are four extensions in a hunt group and one of them stopped ringing today when you dial the hunt pilot. No recent changes to CUCM were made prior to this occurring.
    I have tried the following:
    1) Removed the extension from line group, reset hunt list, added it back to the hunt list and reset hunt list again.
    2) Had the user unplug his phone and plug it back in to force a restart.
    3) Remote-reset the phone from CUCM
    4) Deleted the hunt pilot, list, and line group and rebuilt them then reset the hunt list
    5) Deleted the phone from CUCM and reprogrammed it then reset the hunt list
    6) Replaced the phone with a brand new phone and reset the hunt list
    I can direct dial the phone extension and if someone forwards their phone to this extension it rings as well. Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Matt

    All,
    I just got confirmation that the hunt group is now working. Although I cannot say for sure which changes actually fixed the problem it was some combination of the following:
    1) Removed unassociated Line 5 instance of the extension (found in Route Plan Report)
    2) Restarted all 3 CUCM servers (per recommendation from a Cisco contractor we worked with last night)
    3) Changed RNA settings from 25 to 10 seconds
    4) Disabled forwarding of 2 other extensions in the line group
    5) Unchecked the "logged into hunt group" box, reset the phone, applied the setting again, reset the phone again
    Thank you for everyone's help, much appreciated.

  • Hunt group: First Available

    Hi,
    For a BACD, is there a way to change the Hunt Group Type to 'First Available' (Asterisk terminology)?
    The call flow is as follows:
    Call rings on receptions phone on a shared extension (301). If that is busy transfers to BACD (pilot 501).
    Members of the BACD Hunt Group are 2 other extension (302 and 303). In this case displayed on a side car (attendent console).
    This is so the receptionist can pick up other calls in the queue if she wants to.
    However currently the Hunt Group type is set to Sequential, which means the call will cycle through the 302 and 303 before it plays the MOH.
    Is there a way for the call to go to the next available extension 302, stay there and if not answered play the MOH, without hunting to the next extension 303?

    Thanks for the response.
    I'm unsure whether this will work though, I haven't tried it yet.
    But can't 'hops' only be set in either 'Longest-idle' or 'peer' hunt type? Also isn't the minimum hops parameter 2?
    Also what happens if a third call comes in? Would it go to extension 303?
    I guess what I would like to do is if a 301 is busy it should go to the BACD queue.
    Once in the queue if 302 is busy CFB, it should go to 303.
    But if 302 does not answer CFNA it should just play the MOH and stay on that extension until it's answered.

  • AXL SQL Query user-extension- line group-hunt group mapping

    Hi all
    I want to take an export  about user-extension- line group-hunt group mapping
    Can somebody help me about it   I have CUCM 9.1

    There's a lot of table joins in that full mapping! I'll break it down into steps. When you say extension you need to bear in mind that a number and a device are two different things, and a user is associated to these things separately. I'll break it down into chunks.
    User to Device:
    SELECT enduser.userid, device.description FROM enduser, device, enduserdevicemap WHERE enduser.pkid = enduserdevicemap.fkenduser AND enduserdevicemap.fkdevice = device.pkid AND enduser.userid='FOO'
    User to Directory Number:
    SELECT enduser.userid, numplan.dnorpattern FROM enduser, numplan, endusernumplanmap WHERE enduser.pkid = endusernumplanmap.fkenduser AND endusernumplanmap.fknumplan = numplan.pkid AND enduser.userid='FOO'
    Number to Hunt List:
    SELECT numplan.dnorpattern, device.name FROM numplan, device, devicenumplanmap, typeproduct WHERE numplan.pkid = devicenumplanmap.fknumplan AND devicenumplanmap.fkdevice = device.pkid AND device.tkproduct = typeproduct.enum AND typeproduct.name = "Hunt List" AND numplan.dnorpattern='FOO'

  • 7961GE Hunt Group ringing name

    Our shop has been exclusively 7961Gs for 7 years now.  We recently purchased some 7961GEs and are noticing that when a phone is part of a Hunt Group, the Hunt Group no longer displays on the inbound call.  On the 7961Gs it would say the From: <Caller> For: <Hunt Group> .

  • 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,

  • Hunt Group with Pots lines in Call Manager

    Hello all.  I have a site with 12 Pots lines.  It is all configured via Call Manager.  We are using mgcp.  I asked the telco to setup the numbers to hunt which they said they did but still when I call the main number second time it just rings and eventually get some voicemail that is not from the call manager.  I think I need to setup Hunting in the Call Manager?  Is that correct?
    Line Group --> Add the extensions in here and set them up to hunt?
    Hunt List --> Create a Hunt list and associate a Line Group with it?
    Hunt Pilot --> I add all the extensions in here?

    Let's take one step back. What are you trying to accomplish? I am assuming you want to market one number but have the ability to accept multiple calls on that number. If that is the case, having the telco set up a hunt is the way to go.
    Beyond that, where do you want those calls from the PSTN to route? Are you wanting those calls to ring a hunt group on your side? If so, you will need to do the following:
         1. Configure a Line group. (Call Routing -> Route/Hunt -> Line Group) This is where you will be adding the extensions. You will also need to specify a distribution algorithm. The distribution algorith, is where you will be choosing how you want the extensions to ring. For instance, if you set the DA to broadcast, every extension in the line group will ring at the same time. Click Help --> this page, while you are in the line group configuration page to get more information about the settings you can modify and different algorithms you can use.
         2. Configure a Hunt List. (Call Routing -> Route/Hunt -> Hunt List) You will need to create a new Hunt List and add your line group to it. The hunt list is evaluated in a top down fashion. You can get pretty tricky with multiple line groups with different distribution algorithms in your hunt list, but if you just want something basic,just add the line group you made.
         3. Configure the Hunt Pilot. (Call Routing -> Route/Hunt -> Hunt Pilot) The hunt pilot will be the dialed number that triggers the hunt group. Make sure you select all the required settings. You will be selecting the hunt list you just made in this configuration page. Be sure to set a maximum hunt timer and final destination so that the calls do not just ring forever. You can get pretty granular with the settings in here. Reference the help --> this page document for more information.
         4. POINT THE FXO PORTS TO THE HUNT PILOT. This is very important. Calls to your analog lines will not trigger the hunt group unless you point the ports to the Hunt Pilot. If you are using MGCP/SCCP you will need to enter the hunt pilot in the "Attendant DN" field for EVERY FXO port. If you do not enter a value here, CUCM will have no idea what to do when the port rings. It will not answer the call if there is no value specified. This would explain why your calls were ending up with the telco voicemail service; CUCM was never answering the call.
    If you completed the above steps correctly, you should be able to call the main number multiple times and have the calls go to a hunt group on your side, no matter which line the call ends up coming in on.
    Let me know if you have any questions, this can be kind of tricky at first.
    PS, if the calls were going to a voicemail that wasn't from Call Manager (Unity Connection) call the telco and have them remove voicemail service from the lines, assuming you have configured Unity Connection to handle that.
    Hope this helps,
    Dallan

  • 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.

  • Extending the Hunting time on a Hunt Group CUCM 8.5.1

    Good afternoon.  We are trying to implement a hunt group for our main switchboard.  The scenario would be all calls to the home office come into a hunt pilot and then hunt, top down, to the main switchboard extension and then to a choice of 3 other devices that would be logged in.  The problem is that we cannot get the hunt group to hunt longer than 1 minute.  I have changed the RNA Reversion Timeout and with all the devices logged it, the call will only hunt until the 60 seconds has expired and then the call drops; 15 seconds at the RNA Reversion Timeout will get to all 4 devices - anything longer and the call drops before finishing the hunting process.  From the information that I can find, a hunt group should "hunt" for up to 30 minutes (or so we read in the Hunt Pilot information).  We're using a "Top Down" algorithm since we want all calls to always start at the switchboard directory number, and all of the Hunt Options are set to "Try Next member; then, try next group in Hunt List".  The only place where we have indicated any time is on the Line Group - RNA Reversion Timeout.  There are times where only the switchboard device may be logged into the hunt and we need to have that ring time at 60 seconds minimum for the call to be handled appropriately.
    Is this a simple overlook on our part or are we limited in what we want to do?
    Thanks for any insight that you can give us.
    Cinde

    Hi Cinde,
    I just wanted to add a note to the excellent tips from my friend Aaron here (+5 "A")
    The Maximum Hunt Timer is only leveraged when considering it in conjunction with the Call Forward settings on the Hunt Pilot config as noted here;
    Maximum Hunt Timer
    Enter a value (in seconds) that specifies the maximum time for hunting. Valid values specify 1 to 3600. The default value specifies 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
    This timer cancels if either a hunt member answers the call or if the hunt list gets exhausted before the timer expires. If you do not specify a value for this timer, hunting continues until a hunt member answers or hunting exhausts. If neither event takes place, hunting continues for 30 minutes, after which the call gets taken for final treatment.
    Note If hunting exceeds the number of hops that the Forward Maximum Hop Count service parameter specifies, hunting expires before the 30-minute maximum hunt timer value, and the caller receives a reorder tone.
    In addition, Cisco Unified CM only uses the configuration for the Maximum Hunt Timer setting if you configure the Hunt Forward settings in the Hunt Pilot Configuration window.
    From;
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/admin/8_5_1/ccmcfg/bccm-851-cm/b03htpil.html
    There is an old bug that describes this in better detail;
    Maximum Hunt Timer (MHT) description is unclear
    CSCsg93573
    Description
    Symptom:
    In the Hunt Pilot form, under Hunt Forward Settings, there is a field
    called Maximum Hunt Timer (MHT). The description in the online help is misleading.
    Currently, it conveys that the setting will be used when calling the Hunt Pilot
    directly, which is not true. This setting is only used if Hunt Forward Settings
    are configured.
    So, to accomplish what you want you'll need to set up and link multiple Line Groups that contain the same 4 member DN's via the "Try next member,then try next Group in Hunt List" setting.
    Let's say in our example the members of the first Line Group Called Main#1 are 3333,4444,5555 and 6666 then you create a second Line group called Main#2 that contains 3333,4444,5555 and 6666 and Main#3 that contains 3333,4444,5555 and 6666.
    Include Main#1,Main#2 and Main#3 in the Hunt List; and Switch the rule on the first Line Group
    to, Try next Member;then try next Group in Hunt List and Switch the rule on the Second Line
    Group to, Try next Member;then try next Group in Hunt List.
    This will then cycle through the Members 3333,4444,5555 and 6666 three complete times.
    Cheers!
