You can answer an incoming call to your extension that is ringing on an extension other than your own by using the call pickup feature. You will be able to pick up a call from within your own group (a “group” is any consolidation of IP Phone extensions, as defined by your telecomm administrator. For example, your group might contain coworkers from neighboring cubes or your business unit).
Answer a call that is ringing on another extension within your call pickup group:
- Press PickUp.
- Press Answer to connect to the call.
Answer a call that is ringing on another extension outside your group:
- Press GPickUp.
- Enter the group pickup code.
- Press Answer to connect to the call.
Answer a call that is ringing on another extension in your group or in an associated group:
- Press OPickUp.
- Press Answer to connect to the call.
Note: When you press PickUp and GPickUp, you connect to the call that has been ringing for the longest time. 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 to the ringing call in the pickup group with the highest priority.
