Hunt List Configuration

---

A Hunt List lists a set of Line groups in a specific order. A hunt list then associates with one or more hunt pilots and determines the order in which those line groups are accessed. The order controls the progress of the search for available directory numbers for incoming calls.

A hunt list comprises a collection of directory numbers as defined by line groups. After Cisco CallManager determines a call that is to be routed through a defined hunt list, Cisco CallManager finds the first available device on the basis of the order of the line group(s) that a hunt list defines.

---

Note The Group Call Pickup feature does not work with hunt lists.

---

A hunt list can contain only line groups. Each hunt list should have at least one line group. Each line group includes at least one directory number. A single line group can appear in multiple hunt lists.

Finding Hunt Lists

Because you might have several hunt lists in your network, Cisco CallManager lets you use specific criteria to locate specific hunt lists. To locate hunt lists, use the following procedure.

---

Note During your work in a browser session, Cisco CallManager Administration retains your hunt list search preferences. If you navigate to other menu items and return to this menu item, Cisco CallManager Administration retains your hunt list search preferences until you modify your search or close the browser.

---

Procedure

---

Step 1 Choose Route Plan > Route/Hunt > Hunt List.

The Find and List Hunt Lists window displays. Use the two drop-down list boxes to search for a hunt list.

Step 2 From the first Find Hunt Lists where drop-down list box, choose one of the following criteria:

•Hunt List Name

•Description

•Pattern/Pilot Number

---

Note The criterion that you choose in this drop-down list box specifies how the list of hunt lists that your search generates will be sorted. For example, if you choose Description, the Description column will display as the left column of the results list.

---

From the second Find Hunt Lists where drop-down list box, choose one of the following criteria:

•begins with

•contains

•ends with

•is exactly

Step 3 Specify the appropriate search text, if applicable, and click Find. You can also specify how many items per page to display.

---

Note To find all hunt lists that are registered in the database, click Find without entering any search text.

---

A list of discovered hunt lists displays by

•Hunt list name

•Description

•Status

•Enabled

---

Note You can delete multiple hunt lists from the Find and List Hunt Lists window by checking the check boxes next to the appropriate hunt lists and clicking Delete Selected. You can delete all hunt lists in the window by checking the check box in the matching records title bar and clicking Delete Selected.

---

Step 4 Click the hunt list from the list of records that matches your search criteria.

Adding a Hunt List

The following procedure describes how to add a hunt list.

Procedure

---

Step 1 Choose Route Plan > Route/Hunt > Hunt List.

Step 2 Click Add a New Hunt List.

Step 3 In the Hunt List Name field, enter a name. The name can comprise up to 50 alphanumeric characters and can contain any combination of spaces, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_). Ensure each hunt list name is unique to the route plan.

---

Timesaver Use concise and descriptive names for your hunt lists. The CompanynameLocationCalltype format usually provides a sufficient level of detail and is short enough to enable you to quickly and easily identify a hunt list. For example, CiscoDallasMetro identifies a hunt list for toll-free, inter-local access transport area (LATA) calls from the Cisco office in Dallas.

---

Cisco CallManager automatically inserts a description in the Description field. You can, however, edit this field.

Step 4 Choose a Cisco CallManager group from the drop-down list box.

---

Note Hunt List registers to the first Call Manager in the Call Manager Group as primary Call Manager.

---

---

Note If you choose a Cisco CallManager group that has only one Cisco CallManager configured, you receive the following warning:

WARNING! The selected Cisco CallManager Group has only one Cisco CallManager configured. For the control process to have redundancy protection, please select a Cisco CallManager Group with more than one Cisco CallManager.

---

Step 5 To add this hunt list, click Insert.

---

Note A popup message reminds you that you must add at least one line group to this hunt list for it to accept calls.

---

The Hunt List window displays the newly added hunt list.

Step 6 The system checks the Enable this Hunt List check box by default for the new hunt list.

If you want to disable this hunt list, uncheck this check box. A popup window explains that calls in progress are not affected, but this hunt list will not accept additional calls.

Step 7 If you intend to use this hunt list for voice messaging, check the For Voice Mail Usage check box.

Step 8 Add at least one line group to the new hunt list.

To add a line group to this list, click Add Line Group and perform Step 3 through Step 6 of the "Adding Line Groups to a Hunt List" section.
