Setting Hunt Type Description Select how Cisco Business Edition 3000 distributes the calls to members of the hunt list: An idle member is not servicing any calls. An available member is on an active call but is available to accept a new call. A busy member cannot accept calls. • Top Down-If you choose this distribution algorithm, Cisco Business Edition 3000 distributes a call to idle or available members (extensions) starting from the first idle or available member of a hunt list to the last idle or available member. • Circular-If you choose this distribution algorithm, Cisco Business Edition 3000 distributes a call to idle or available members starting from the (n+1)th member of a hunt list, where the nth member is the member to which Cisco Business Edition 3000 most recently extended a call. If the nth member is the last member of a hunt list, Cisco Business Edition 3000 distributes a call starting from the top of the hunt list. • Longest Idle Time-If you choose this distribution algorithm, Cisco Business Edition 3000 only distributes a call to idle members, starting from the longest idle member to the least idle member of a hunt list. • Broadcast-If you choose this distribution algorithm, Cisco Business Edition 3000 distributes a call to all idle or available members of a hunt list simultaneously. Caution Do not put extensions that are shared lines in a hunt list that uses the Broadcast distribution algorithm. Cisco Business Edition 3000 cannot display shared lines correctly on the phone if the extensions are members of a hunt list that uses the Broadcast distribution algorithm.
