Hunt group via JTAPI

When someone calls a hunt group, and call gets transfered over to an agent, we need to know what was the original number that the caller dialed. I can get the extension or MAC of the phone receiving the call and the caller ID, but not the original number called. Is there a way to look that up via JTAPI or AXL or a combination of both?
Thanks

not sure about JTAPI or AXL, but if you don't need it immediately, you could get the original calledpartynumber from the CDR of the first leg of the call ...

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!

CVP 7.0(2) SIP RNA Timer with CUCM Hunt Group

I have a very simple ICM 7.5(9) script which simply assigns a call type then forwards to a label on CUCM 7.1(5), which is a hunt pilot containing a hunt list with 2 line groups...a circular LG with 10 members (RNA reversion timeout of 20 sec), followed by a broadcast LG with different 10 members. There is no CFNA/CFB forwarding set up on the hunt pilot.
In CVP, the SIP RNA timer is set on for this DN at 120 seconds, and I can see that get set in CVP logs (IP addresses and dialed numbers modified to protect customer data):

I am trying to determine which timer is limiting the hunt to 60 seconds.
Can anyone suggest where I might begin looking?
Thanks so much!!!

I've run into a similar problem recently with a CVP 8.5(1) SIP deployment and have found in the CVP documentation that the RNA Timeout is a range configurable between 5 and 60 seconds.
You can enter a larger value through OAMP on the Call Server-->SIP-->Advanced Configuration tab but when you Save and Deploy, it reverts back to the max of 60 seconds. The CVP help file indicates the 5-60 second range.

Temporal error in IPPhones 6921 with Hunt Group

Hi,
I have registered several IPPhones 6921 in cucm via wan, and trying to make a pickup Group, when I place a call, runs the hunt group, but when i try to pick up the call with Pickup Group softkey in the ipphones shows the message "temporal error" and fails.
I think this could be a bandwith issue, because end customer has a ADSL with only 200 Kb to upload between the two sites, although I have configurated region and Device Pool, still fails.
Any idea?
Regards!

Hi,
I have registered the ipphones in a cucm via WAN, i think that could be a bandwith issue because only happen when they are connected in the cucm, when I registered them locally in my CME all runs properly, so only have this weird behavior when are connected to CUCM via WAN.
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 and 2911-CME SRST

Imagine this is (1) main hub with a Cisco CUBE 2900, 2 remote sites with Cisco 2911 CME-SRST. All connected via MPLS.
Goal:
If MPLS link or MPLS CE in remote site1 fails, I want to have *inbound* calls forwarded to the POTS line in the branch1.
VoIP Service provider does offer a feature which allow me to select target DIDs and have inbound calls forwarded to whichever number I specify.
Question:
Let's say there 20 people in the branch office1.
Can I setup a hunt group using Cisco 2911 CME and that single number which received the call start ringing the phone of all staff until we find someone to take call? Does CME and support hunt groups and this scenario?

Yes, CME supports various types of hunt groups.
However to have more than one phone ring at once, the best is to use a shared DN.

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.

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!

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

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

How do I send pictures from iphoto to a group via email instead of to just one individual? I can't type in more than one name or send the pictures to a group.

How do I send pictures from iphoto to a group via email instead of to just one individual? I can't type in more than one name or send the pictures to a group.

I had a similar problem in that my wife's iphone 5 could not send pics with imessage. Had to set the settings to default to SMS or whatever. After laboring many hours on the web I coincidentally was on the phone with the internet people to question my internet speed. They changed the router channel, which is something that I am capable of doing myself. After that, the pics go over imessage. My own Iphone didn't have the problem. We are both latest IOS 7.0.6.

EPM 11.1.2.1 add a MSAD user to a HSS native group via MaxL command

Hi there
I want to take over MSAD user as EPM (Essbase) user in a HSS native group via MaxL command:
This works fine as long as the user is already in at least one other group (with at least server access).
If I want to do same for a "new" user it fails.
Is there any trick to also make it work for this case?
see here:
alter user 'mynewuser' add to group 'ALL_SERVER_ACCESS_ ESS1';
ERROR - 1051012 - User mynewuser does not exist.
or even
alter user 'mynewuser@domain' add to group 'ALL_SERVER_ACCESS_ ESS1';
ERROR - 1051012 - User mynewuser@domain does not exist.
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Andre

You will probably need issue a create first for example
create or replace user 'essuser' type external;
alter user 'essuser' add to group essgroup;
or
create or replace user 'essuser@LDAPNAME' type external;
alter user 'essuser@LDAPNAME' add to group essgroup;

# of Hunt groups associated with B-ACD and # Automated Attendants (AA) for UC560

This reference (from public site) states (3) AA and (10) Hunt groups
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6788/vcallcon/ps7293/reference_guide_c07-566560.html
This (harder to find document in supportforums) references (5) AA , but it does not reference (20) Hunt Groups. We understand from speaking with Cisco Partner Presales that the current firmware supports this, but we cannot find the published reference.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-9656/

We are currently running 5 AA's on a 560 and have been doing so for a few months.
I cannot help with the hunt groups as we do not use them.
The 560 seems to support a bunch of features that can only be programmed using the CLI, I wish they would match the CCA up with these as it causes all sorts of issues if you do not remember what was configured using CLI vs CCA.
For instance our outgoing CLID was configured using the CLI as CCA only supports 15 entries where the CLI supports 100, which is great until someone opens the Outgoing CLID tab in the CCA and it over writes the CLI config.

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
