# Trunk Group Hunting

## Description

Trunk Group Hunting lets you search for trunk groups in either a terminal or circular pattern. If the trunk group is programmed as a terminal hunt group, trunks are always selected in a predetermined order. If the trunk group is programmed as a circular hunt group, trunks are selected in a distributed manner (the first free trunk after the last one used becomes the new first choice).
