Call Pickup Groups

DESCRIPTION

CONSIDERATIONS

A member of a Call Pickup Group can answer a call that is ringing at any other group member’s voice terminal by just dialing a code or touching a button. The group member picking up the call doesn’t need to know the intercom number of the ringing voice terminal. The system connects him or her to the ringing voice terminal automatically.

Group members can pick up intercom, outside, transferred, and covered calls at each other’s voice terminals. They can transfer outside calls to other voice terminals in the system,

●A system can have up to 30 Call Pickup groups, each containing as many as 15 members. A voice terminal can be assigned to only one group.

●If a member of the group has activated the Coverage Inhibit feature, a call ringing at that voice terminal can’t be picked up by other group members.
