Call Pickup

Group Definition

7 Call Pickup
Asterisk provices the possibility of creating Pickup Groups. Calls to a member of such a group
can be picked up by all group members.
7.1 Group Definition
Groups are defined in the file sip.conf. Using callgroup=X within the section for user A, this
user A is assigned to a group called X. This group pools all call targets that can be picked up
by a pre-defined pickup group. To make sure a user B can pick up a call for user A, you have to
enter pickupgroup=X into the section for user B. X can be set to values from 0 through 63.
Example:
[10]
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1
Explanations:
•
[10]
Indicates the user for which the following parameters are valid.
•
callgroup
Using this parameter the user is assigned to a group within which calls can be picked up
by members of a pickup group with the same number (in the example: 1).
•
pickupgroup
Using this parameter the user is assigned to a pickup group; the members of this pickup
group can pick up calls to any telephone within the group of call targets that have the same
number (in the example: 1).
