Pickup Group Extensions (#501) - Avaya Partner 18 Programming And Use Manual

Pickup Group Extensions (#501)

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

Considerations
An extension can be assigned to as many as four different 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.
