Call pick-up from another extension
You can pick up calls ringing on another extension, for example when the other extension is busy or
when the user is absent. The prerequisites for this function are:
◦ It must be supported by the PBX.
◦ The extension whose calls you want to pick up on your own extension must permit this
function. It is possible but not required to restrict the permission for monitoring to certain
users or groups of users.
Settings: See "Example 1, Extension monitoring and call pick-up" on page 69.
◦ Each extension to be monitored must be programmed onto one of the freely programmable
function keys with LEDs. See chapter "Configuring the function keys", "Example 1, Extension
monitoring and call pick-up" on page 69.
◦ If you want to see who is calling or connected to any of your monitored extensions, you need
to enable the function "Go to call monitor on activity". See "Configuring the function keys",
"Example 2, Monitoring calls on-screen" on page 63.
When these prerequisites are met, the activities of the monitored extension are indicated by the LED
of the function key:
◦ Blinking LED: Incoming call ringing. If the call is not answered, press the key to pick it up.
◦ LED glowing steadily: The monitored extension is busy (in call, dialing, etc.).
◦ Press the key on the phone to show any ongoing activity on monitored extensions or lines
on the display. For example: "157
7904" indicates that extension 157 is calling extension
7904; "157 7904" indicates that 157 is connected to 7904 and that 157 is the caller, 7904
the callee.
