Group Pickup

Group Pickup lets you answer a call to an extension in your pickup group even when you do not know the number of the extension. Before you can use this feature, your telephone must be a member of a pickup group, which is set up at the CBX. Pickup groups are limited to 40 members (with digital telephones), and an extension may only be a member of one pickup group. Ask your CBX system administrator whether your extension is a member of a pickup group.

Note

On CBX Releases 9006.1 and 9006.2, a pickup group can have 40 members with digital phones, or 256 with analog phones, or a combination of 256 with up to 40 digital phones and the rest analog phones.
