3.1.4.6 ‘Pickup groups’ submenu 
Use the menu to configure pickup groups. You may configure only 4 different pickup groups.  
Pickup  group  –  subscriber  group,  authorized  to  receive  any  calls  directed  at  another  subscriber  of  the 
group. In other  words, each subscriber inside that  belongs to the  group may pick up  the call received on any 
other port of the group by dialing pickup code. Use the Section 3.1.4.1.2 to configure a pickup code. For detailed 
information see section ‘Dialplan Configuration’. 
 
–  Group 0..3 – sequential number of pickup group; 
–  FXS 0..7 – FXS port number; 
–  Permit to pickup incoming calls – when checked, you may pick up incoming calls. 
To add port to pickup group, select the checkbox next to the respective port.  
Service usage: 
The  call  is  transmitted  to  the  subscriber  phone  unit  covered  by  pickup  group.  If  the  subscriber  can’t 
answer to a call – another subscriber, that belongs to the pickup group and use the same SIP profile, can pick up 
incoming call. To  do it,  user should dial intercept code  and after that connection with the  calling  user  will be 
established. 
Pay attention that the  call interception is possible only when called  client and picking up client use  the 
same SIP profile. 
Pickup group  may  be  used in  combination with  a  call  group; in  this  case,  all ports  that belong  to  a  call 
group should belong to the pickup group. Thus, each port that belongs to a call group will be able to pickup an 
incoming call to a group number. 
When subscriber dials the pickup code when there are no incoming calls to a group number, they will hear 
'busy' tone.
