Pickup Group Extensions (#501)

Description

This System Programming procedure lets you assign extensions to a Pickup Group. When a call rings at an extension in a Pickup Group, a user at any other extension in the system can answer the ringing call by dialing the Pickup Group code. The Pickup Group feature is useful when a user needs to answer calls on lines or pools not assigned to his or her phone. The system supports up to four Pickup Groups.

■Extensions where extra alerts (such as a loud bell) are installed can be assigned to a Pickup Group, to enable anyone who hears the alert to answer the call.
