ASSIGNING LINE PICKUP BUTTONS
The Line Pickup feature allows a person to pick up a ringing, parked, or held call
on a specific line at any voice terminal. This feature is especially convenient with
parked or held calls. The attendant or another voice terminal user simply announces
the call by intercom or by page, specifying the line number to be picked up. The per-
son being called does not need to know where the call was received in order to pick
it up. It is a good idea to number the lines on the attendant console if you're going
to use Line Pickup.
This feature offers voice terminal users three options:
• Program individual buttons to pick up specific lines.
• Program one Line Pickup button and use it with 2-digit line codes to pick up lines.
• Dial 8 and a 2-digit line code to pick up a line.
You must program voice terminals for the first and second options, in which buttons
are used. No programming is required for the third option. When you have deter-
mined which option to assign to a particular voice terminal, use Centralized Voice
Terminal Programming to program the voice terminal from the administrator/ atten-
dant console or follow the procedure below.
1. Go to the voice terminal that you want to program.
2. Slide the T/P switch on the left side of the voice terminal to P
The voice terminal rings every 5 seconds to remind you it is in program
mode.
3. Touch the button that you want to program.
4. Dial 84.
5. If you want to program the Line Pickup button for a specific line, dial
the Iine code shown in the list below for that line. lf you plan to have only
one Line Pickup button that will be used with various line codes as re-
quired to pickup calls, go directly to step 6.
6. If you have more options to program on this voice terminal, you can do
so. Otherwise, slide the T/P switch to the center position to return to nor-
mat operation.
