Help me to understand this configuration Ephone-Hunt Pickup-group

[mdrangell22]

Hello Guys!!!

I have started to study to get collaboration certification. I only have 3 weeks studying and where I work I found a configuraton that really called my attention, It is about pick-up group and ephone-hunt.

The configuration is the following:

Ephone-hunt 8 peer

pillot 290

list 291,297,292,295,292

preferencie 1

timeout 12,12,12,12,12

no-reg pilot

no-forward locall-calls

Ephone-dn 33 dual-line

number 235

pickup-group 290

label Pedro

name Pedro

call-forward busy 259

call-forwared noan 259 timeout 35

corlist incoming LVL3

ephone 32

mac x.x.x.x

username ANA

button 1:33

I just typed the part of the configuration that I want to understand.

I know that pickup-group is that all the ephone-dn with it will allow to answer the incoming call, but this time I don't know what the administrator did.

I mean the ephone-hunt works fine, because when someone call to the ext 290, this incoming call pass over the ext 291,297,292,295,292; but how is this possible? I mean first the CME look for the ephone-dn 33 and there reads pickup-group 290 and that goes to ephone-hunt 8 peer??
Or how this configuration works?

I hope you guys can help me

Thank you

These commands are what allow calls to 290 to hunt to the indicated extensions:

Ephone-hunt 8 peer

pilot 290

list 291,297,292,295,292

"Pickup-group 290" has no effect on the hunting configuration. The pickup-group command allows phones within a given group to pickup calls presented to other phones in the group. In this case it is a coincidence that both your hunt pilot and pickup group have the same label.

Ok man, I was thinking that. 

Ummm this two commands 

no-reg pilot

no-forward locall-calls

On the Ephone-hunt 8 peer, what do they do?

[Brandon Buffin]

no-reg - tells the ephone not to register with a gatekeeper

no forward local-calls - internal calls to the hunt group will only ring the first member and will not be forwarded to subsequent members of the group.
