Hunt groups are used to distribute inbound calls to agents and are typically used for simple, low call volume groups. The PBX calls the agents in stages, making it possible to escalate calls to more and more extensions; if the call does not get picked up, it will ultimately be sent to a programmable destination – this can be an internal resource, like a mailbox, or another group, or an external number. Incoming calls are processed as they come into the system, which might cause call waiting on agent devices.

The record will contain various data-points, including time, duration, completion status, source number and destination number.

Vodia’s PBX facilitates the automatic provisioning of Cisco 3PCC devices, such as the 68xx, 78xx and 88xx series, through zero-touch LAN provisioning.

To upgrade the phone, it’s essential to host the firmware on an HTTP or TFTP server and input the correct URL in the Vodia interface.
