Parallel hunt groups using sccp + CUCM 9.1

[wilsonsant]

Hi Guys,

I would like know if the limitation about CME previously still continue in version 9.1. I did the configuration and didn´t worked. I used the document below as reference

https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/10147131/parallel-hunt-groups-using-sccp

Are there documentation Cisco informing about this?

Thanks,

Wilson

Hi Wilson,

Here is the reference related to this query;

Parallel Hunt Groups (Call Blast)

In a parallel hunt group, calls simultaneously ring multiple phones. Using parallel hunt groups is also referred to as application-level forking because it enables the forking of a call to multiple destinations. In versions earlier than Cisco Unified CME 4.3, only SIP phones support parallel hunt groups. In Cisco Unified CME 4.3 and later versions, SCCP phones also support voice hunt groups.

Hi Wilson,

Unlike CUCM, CME does not have version specific config docs and they are bundled into the Call Coverage feature doc like the one I linked above. The customer would need to look at the feature History Roadmap doc to see when this capability was added (see below)

Cisco Unified CME 7.0/4.3
7.0/4.3	Autoprovisioning Directory Numbers in SRST Fallback Mode	Allows you to specify whether Cisco Unified CME in SRST Fallback mode creates octo-line or dual-line directory numbers for ephone-dns that are “learned” automatically from the ephone configuration.	Configuring SRST Fallback Mode
	Barge	Enables phone users to join a call on a shared octo-line directory number by pressing the Cbarge soft key and converting the call to an ad hoc conference.	Configuring Barge and Privacy
	Call Transfer Recall	Enables a transferred call to return to the phone that initiated the transfer if the destination does not answer.
	Cisco 3200 Series Mobile Access Router	Support for Cisco Unified CME on the Cisco 3200 Series Mobile Access Router was added.
	Cisco Unified IP Phones	Adds SCCP support for the following phone types: Cisco Unified IP Phone 7915 Expansion Module Cisco Unified IP Phone 7916 Expansion Module Cisco Unified IP Conference Station 7937 Nokia E61 Adds SIP support for the following phone types: Cisco Unified IP Phone 7942G and 7945G Cisco Unified IP Phone 7962G and 7965G Cisco Unified IP Phone 7975G	Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express 7.0/4.3 Supported Firmware, Platforms, Memory, and Voice Products
	Consultative Transfer Enhancements	Modifies the digit-collection process for consultative call transfers. After a phone user presses the Transfer soft key for a consultative transfer, a new consultative call leg is created and the Transfer soft key is not displayed again until the dialed digits of the transfer-to number are matched to a transfer pattern and consultative call leg is in alerting state.
	Directory Search Enhancement	Increases the number of entries supported in a search results list from 32 to 240 when using the directory search feature.	Configuring Directory Services
	Extension Mobility Enhancement	Adds support for the following: Automatic Logout, including: – Configurable time-of-day timers for automatically logging out all EM users. – Configurable idle-duration timer for logging out a single user from an idle EM phone. Automatic Clear Call History when a user logs out from EM.	Configuring Extension Mobility
	Phone-Type Configuration	Allows you to dynamically add a new phone type to your configuration without upgrading your Cisco IOS software.
	Live Record	Enables IP phone users to record a phone conversation when Cisco Unity Express is the voice mail system.	Integrating Voice Mail
	Maximum Ephones	Sets the maximum number of SCCP phones that can register to Cisco Unified CME using the max-ephones command, without limiting the number that can be configured. This enhancement also expands the maximum number of phones that can be configured to 1000.
	Octo-Line Directory Numbers	Adds octo-line directory numbers that support up to eight active calls, both incoming and outgoing, on a single phone button. Unlike a dual-line directory number, an octo-line directory number can split its channels among other phones that share the directory number.
	Privacy	Enables phone users to block other users from seeing call information or barging into a call on a shared octo-line directory number.	Configuring Barge and Privacy
	Push-to-Talk	Adds support for one-way Push-to-Talk (PTT) in Cisco Unified CME without requiring an external server to support the functionality. PTT is supported in firmware version 1.0.4 and later versions on Cisco Unified wireless IP phones with a thumb button.	SCCP: Configuring One-Way Push-to-Talk on Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phones
	Speed Dial/Fast Dial Phone User Interface	Allows IP phone users to configure their own speed-dial and fast-dial settings directly from the phone. Extension Mobility users can add or modify speed-dial settings in their user profile after logging in.	Configuring Speed Dial
	Transfer to Voice Mail	Allows a phone user to transfer a call directly to a voice-mail extension by pressing the TrnsfVM soft key.	Integrating Voice Mail
	Voice Hunt-Group Enhancements	Supports the following Voice Hunt Group features: Call Forwarding to a Parallel Voice Hunt-Group (Blast Hunt Group). Call Transfer to a Voice Hunt-Group. Member of Voice Hunt-Group can be a SCCP phone, FXS analog phone, DS0-group, PRI-group, SIP phone, or SIP trunk.
