Answering Any Ringing Telephone Using Group Pickup - Nortel Modular ICS 6.0 Manual

To use Call Pickup (Directed Pickup), the telephone must be
ringing. If, for example, the auxiliary ringer is ringing, but the
call is not ringing at a telephone, the call cannot be answered
using Directed Pickup. It must be answered normally at a
telephone that has a flashing indicator for the call, or by using
Trunk Answer. You can answer a call that is ringing because
someone has transferred the call to a telephone and the call is
ringing on an intercom button.
Tip -
Answer DN. While you may enter the internal number of the
telephone you hear ringing, it may be calls from another
telephone you are answering.
