Hunt Pilot pointing to Group Voicemail Box

Hi

I am having a problem with a hunt group pointing to a group Voicemail Box.

Basically there are 3 extensions in the hunt group and they are having the same voicemail profiles.

When I try to ring the extension and they dont answer it goes to the group voicemailbox. but when I ring the hunt pilot and then if no one answers then it does not goto the voicemail box.

I tried to change the voicemail box mask numbers and also the user preferences option in hunt pilot.

I am running out of ideas here. Can you point out the place where i could have gone wrong?

Many thanks

Vino

Hi Vino,

The Forwarding information should be applied at the "Hunt Pilot" Level. With these settings configured to go to the Voicemail Pilot #;

Hunt Forward Settings

Forward Hunt No Answer - When the call that is distributed through the hunt list is not answered in a specific time, this field specifies how to forward the call.

Destination This setting indicates the directory number to which calls are forwarded. (This can be the Directory Number of the Unity VM Pilot)

Forward Hunt Busy - When the call that is distributed through the hunt list is busy in a specific time, this field specifies how to forward the call.

Destination This setting indicates the directory number to which calls are forwarded. (This can be the Directory Number of the Unity VM Pilot)

Maximum Hunt Timer - Enter a value (in seconds) that specifies the maximum time for hunting.(Used in conjunction with Forward Hunt Busy)

Can you try setting these up as well as adding the Hunt Pilot DN xxxx as an Alternate Extension under the Group Voicemail Box :)

From this good CCM 4.1.3 doc;

Hope this helps!

Hi Rob

This has been working fine , but only after I implemented Extension mobility it has stopped working . Is there any relationship between both ?

Thanks

Rob

Also should I point the Forward to the VM pilot number or the VM Mask ?

As when i treid forwarding to the pilot number it went to the default vm still and when I tried to forward to VM mask then it went to a same number which was used within the partition and not to the Group VM box.

Is it worth trying to forwarding it to the last member of the line group as it will inturn forward to the Group VM box?

Thanks

Hi

Found the solution at the end ... The hunt pilot number was changed same as the voicemail box mask and now it works fine.

Thanks all for your input.
