Direct Line Pickup Features
8-34
■ If a line is idle, you cannot access it with this feature (you hear busy tone). For information
about accessing an idle line, see “Direct Line Pickup—Idle Line (I8LL)” on page 8-35.
■ If Line Access Restriction or pool Access Restriction 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 when the line is ringing at
another extension. The user can join a call or access a held or transferred call on the line.
■ You cannot use Direct Line Pickup to access an active call at an extension that has Privacy
activated or that is part of a Conference Call, or to access a held call at an extension that
used Exclusive Hold.
■ Calls picked up with this feature get Caller ID information, unless Line Access Restriction or
Pool Access Restriction is used to prevent users at specific extensions from viewing Caller
ID for ringing calls.
