Advanced Call Handling

•With OPickUp, your system administrator can associate multiple call pickup groups with your group and assign a priority to the groups. When you press OPickUp, you connect the ringing call in the pickup group with the highest priority.

•If you want to pick up the call on an extension other than your primary line, first press an available line button and then press a Call PickUp softkey.

Using a Shared Line

Your system administrator might assign a “shared” phone line to you. Typically, a shared line has two main uses:

•One person uses multiple phones—For example, your shared line is assigned to both your desk phone and a lab phone. An incoming call to the shared line rings on both phones and you can use either phone to answer the call.

•Multiple people share a line—For example, you are one of many people who can handle incoming calls on the shared line, or you are a manager who shares an extension number with your assistant.

Understanding Shared Lines

Remote-in-Use

If you have a shared line, you might see the remote-in-use icon on your phone screen: (Shared line icon. This icon indicates that a co-worker is currently using the shared line. You can place and receive calls as usual on a shared line, even when the remote-in-use icon appears.

Sharing Call Information and Barging

Unless a co-worker who shares your line has the Privacy feature enabled, you can see information on your phone screen about calls that your co-worker places and receives on the shared line. This information might include caller ID and call duration. Conversely, when you are using a shared line, information about your call is displayed on the co-worker’s phone screen.

When call information is visible in this way, you and co-workers can add yourselves to calls on the shared line using either the Barge or cBarge feature. Adding yourself to a call on a shared line is called barging. For more information about barging, see the “Adding Yourself to a Shared-Line Call” section on page 32.

Privacy

If you do not want co-workers who share your line to see information about your calls, enable the Privacy feature. Doing so also prevents co-workers from barging your calls. See the “Preventing Others from Viewing or Barging a Shared-Line Call” section on page 33.
