Pickup Group Extensions (#501)
Description
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 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.
