Hunt List Dial Command Options

When you are configuring a hunt list, sometimes you want to alter the default behaviour. The following options can be placed into the "Dial command options" on a hunt list and alter the default behaviour for how a call behaves.

While a full set of advanced options are available, the following are the most common options you may wish to use.

• c - If the call is cancelled this call, always set HANGUPCAUSE to 'answered elsewhere'. If the handset supports this setting, you will not see a missed call for this call.
• i - The system will ignore any forwarding requests it may receive on this dial attempt.
• I - The system will ignore any connected line update requests or any redirecting party update requests it may receive on this dial attempt.
• r( tone ) - Default: Indicate ringing to the calling party, even if the called party isn't actually ringing. Pass no audio to the calling party until the called channel has answered.
  • tone - Indicate progress to calling party. Send audio 'tone' from the indications.conf tonezone currently in use.
• R - Default: Indicate ringing to the calling party, even if the called party isn't actually ringing. Allow interruption of the ringback if early media is received on the channel
