Group Call Pickup

Easily answer a call ringing your Pickup Group, even if you don’t know which extension is ringing.

Description

Group Call Pickup allows an extension user to answer a call ringing an extension in their assigned Pickup Group. This permits co-workers in the same Pickup Group to easily answer each other’s ringing calls. The user can intercept the ringing call by dialing a code or pressing a programmed Group Call Pickup key. The system has a maximum of eight Pickup Groups, with an unlimited number of extensions in each group. However, an extension can be a member of only one pickup group.

Group Call Pickup can answer the following types of calls:
  • Ringing Intercom calls
  • Transferred calls
  • Direct Inward Lines
  • Calls on lines assigned to the Pickup Group

To simplify picking up calls, an extension can have Feature Keys assigned as Group Call Pickup keys. There are three types of Group Call Pickup keys: immediate ring, no ring (lamp only), or delayed ring.
