Call Pickup
There are four types of call pickup:
Directed Call Pickup
Allows an extension user to answer a call ringing at any other extension.
Group Call Pickup
Allows an extension user to answer a call ringing at another extension, if the call is ringing
within the same extension group. If required extensions may pickup calls ringing in their
group just by going off-hook, even though their extension is not ringing.
Call Pickup Deny
Allows an extension user to prevent other extensions from picking up a call ringing at the
user’s extension with the Call Pickup feature.
Call Retrieving from a TAM (Telephone Answering Machine) - Allows an extension user to
answer an incoming call already answered by a TAM.
Call Splitting
Allows an extension user to talk to 2 different people. If a call is received while the user is
already busy on a call, the user can place the current call on hold and have a conversation
with the other party.
Call Transfer
Allows an extension user to transfer a call, an intercom or an outside call, to another
extension. Two types are available. Intercom calls may also be transferred to an external
telephone number using Screened call transfer.
Screened Call Transfer: Announces the call to another extension before completing the
transfer.
Unscreened Call Transfer: Immediately releases the call to another extension without an
announcement
Call Waiting
During a conversation, the Call Waiting tone informs extension users that there is a call
waiting. The user can answer the second call by disconnecting the first call or placing it on
hold.
Conference
During a 2-party conversation, an extension user can add up to three other people to make a 5-
party conference. The maximum number of members of a conference can be programmed in
system programming. The 5 party conference may be made up of a maximum of 2 external
callers and 5 internal extensions subject to a maximum of 5 participants.
