Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual

This feature allows users to access a ringing or held call, or to join a call in
progress on a specific outside line (where LL is a line number from 01–24). This
feature is useful for picking up a ringing or held call or for joining a call on a line
that is not assigned to the phone.

If a line is idle, users cannot access it with this feature (they hear busy tone).
For information on accessing an idle line, see Direct Line Pickup—Idle
Line.

If Line Access Restriction (#302) or Pool Access Restriction (#315) is set
to No Access or Out Only for a line assigned to an extension or lines within a
pool, a user at the restricted extension hears busy tone if Direct Line Pickup
is used to answer a call on that line which is ringing at another extension

(but the user can join a call or access a held or transferred call on the line).

Direct Line Pickup cannot be used to access an active call at an extension
that has Privacy activated or that is part of a Conference Call, or a held call
at an extension that used Exclusive Hold.

Calls picked up with this feature get Caller ID information, unless Line
Access Restriction (#302) or Pool Access Restriction (#315) is used to
prevent users at specific extensions from viewing Caller ID for ringing calls.

This feature is useful when users are requested or paged to pick up a call
