CME parallel huntgroup.

[davieshuw]

Hi, I've configured some DN's as below:

ephone-dn 11 dual-line

number 202 no-reg primary

label 202

description 202

name 202

!

!

ephone-dn 12 dual-line

number 203 no-reg primary

label 203

description 203

name 203

!

!

ephone-dn 13 dual-line

number 204 no-reg primary

label 204

description 204

name 204

!

!

ephone-dn 14 dual-line

number 205 no-reg primary

label 205

description 205

name 205

!

!

ephone-dn 15 dual-line

number 206 no-reg primary

label 206

description 206

name 206

They work great. Im trying to impliment the following parallel hunt group:

voice hunt-group 1 parallel

pilot 203

list 204, 205, 206

final 207

timeout 20

But i get this message:

UC520(config-voice-hunt-group)#list 203, 204

Number 203 is not a valid voice register dn. Re-enter 'list.'

Any ideas?

Cheers

Hi, "voice hunt-group" is a command for SIP phones exclusively.

SCCP phones do not currently support parallel hunt-groups. Supposedly, they will in a future CME release.

You either use shared lines, or a TCL/IVR service that I wrote for the purpose:

Hope this helps, please rate post if it does!

damn, I knew it was too good to be true.

Cheers!

Hi Paulo, im looking at your TCL script there. I can see that the first few lines are hashed out, and one line contains extension numbers in 'param destinations'

However I cant see param destination being called further down in the script, so does this mean they're not hashed out but just are variables?

cheers :)

[paolo bevilacqua]

Hi, hashed lines are comments and config examples.

Actual configuration is done with parameter commands under service.

[davieshuw]

OK, im looking to impliment this script towards the end of the week on our piece of kit to give it a good testing.

My first question is... how do I make the system use the TCL script :) Do you have any install guide or config guide as I havent used TCL scripts before :(

Is it as simple as ftp'ing this script onto my UC520 box and then all phones will ring together? Forgive my poor TCL knowlege :(

[paolo bevilacqua]

Copy the file to the box, and configure as per example in the files itself.

[davieshuw]

Ah im starting to get it now, so all I need to config on the box are :

application

service bcast flash:/IVR/bcast.tcl

param destinations 201,202,203 (or all the phones I want to ring)

# dial-peer voice 100 pots

# description broadcast hunt-group

# service bcast

# incoming called-number 5551234

Now Dial-peer voice 100 pots. Do I need this specific dial peer, or can I apply it to an exsiting dial peer? For example:

dial-peer voice 54 pots

description **Answers All Incoming Calls**

>>service bcast

>> incoming called-number .

direct-inward-dial

port 0/1/0

Thanks for your help mate, I very much appreciate it

Hi, under DP, you need service, incoming called-number, codec g711u and no vad. You don't need anything else.

[davieshuw]

Ok, ill be giving this a go tomorrow, fingers crossed :)

[paolo bevilacqua]

I stand corrected, of course codec and vad do not apply to a pots DP.

These would apply when you configure a voip "loopback" DP in order to be able to access the service from ip phones as well.
