[Asterisk-Users] Switch between FXS ports

[Marc Storck]

The Call Forward On Busy does cost YOU money each time you forward a call.

Call hunting group is different from Call forwarding.

In a hunt group you have 2 or more phone lines grouped together. When a 
call for a number associated with the group comes into the telco switch, 
the switch checks which lines inside the group are available, then the 
switch selects one of the available lines where it will send the call 
to. This selection is done using a predefined algorythm (random, round 
robin, ascending, descending,....)

Call hunting groups are also in most times used on  a T1 PRI or E1 PRI. 
When a call comes in for a phonenumber associated with the T1/E1 only 1 
channel will ring.

Some telcos may charge additional fees to setup a call hunting group, 
but in cases you make a certain usage of Call forwarding, it may be less 
expensive to use a call hunting group.

Best regards,

Marc
