Group Pickup

To answer a call
ringing at a
group member's
extension
The Pickup features let you answer calls that are ring-
ing, on hold, queued, or parked at other extensions.
Group Pickup lets you answer a call to an extension in
your pickup group even when you do not know the
number of the extension. Before you can use this
feature, your telephone must be a member of a pickup
group, which is set up at the CBX. Pickup groups are
limited to 40 members (with digital telephones), and
an extension may only be a member of one pickup
group. Ask your CBX system administrator whether
your extension is a member of a pickup group.
Note
On CBX Releases 9006.1 and 9006.2, a pickup group
can have 40 members with digital phones, or 256 with
analog phones, or a combination of 256 with up to 40
digital phones and the rest analog phones.
On CBX Release 9006.3 and higher, pickup groups
can have up to 255 members with digital and analog
phones in any combination.
Press the PICKUP key twice, or get a dial tone

phone, you must pick up the handset to speak to
the other party.
