Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual

This System Programming procedure lets you assign extensions to a Pickup
Group. When a call rings at an extension in a Pickup Group, a user at any other
extension in the system can answer the ringing call by dialing the Pickup Group
code. The Pickup Group feature is useful when a user needs to answer calls on

lines or pools not assigned to his or her phone. The system supports up to four
Pickup Groups.

■

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.

1 = Assigned to group
2 = Not Assigned to group
