This will allow for multiple extensions to be uniquely rung by their individual extensions. 

SIP Trunk Registration

When using the HT81x with a SIP trunk, the outbound proxy will need to be set to sip.siplogin.ca

To use the SIP Trunk registration, the steps are mostly the same above but you will register only the one line. the difference is setting the huntgroup option. 
  1. Set Port 1 Hunting Group to be Active

  2. For each additional Port, set the Hunting Group to 1, this enables all other lines to be rung in the huntgroup fashion of either Circular or Linear
SIP Trunk Only - If you wish to have a specific number only ring a specific line, you can add the DID in 11 digit format to the desired Ports Request URI Routing ID setting. 
This will tell the system that any inbound call to 1234567890 will ring port 5 only.
