Make Calls with normal Telephones and change Settings
In case of an analog telephone the internal and external calls can be
differed by differentiated ringer rhythms (e.g. if there is no display to
show the telephone number).
Pickup: If you hear another internal telephone ringing, you will be
able to take this call with your own telephone or with the telephone
next to you. In this case you have to use the “Pickup“ function. To be
able to do this you take the call to your telephone by dialling a
sequence of digits.
Takeover: If your e.g. answering machine (or your modem) takes
your call, you will be able to take it over with a function named “Take-
over“. You dial some digits on your telephone and then you are con-
nected to the caller. The answering machine gets the busy tone.
Note: If this call is an initiated call back, you will immediately hear the
ringing tone after picking up the receiver. This will signal to you that
the other subscriber is currently being called.
Important: Depending on the assigned authorization of your tele-
phone you can do a pickup for any telephones, for telephones within
your group or you cannot do any pickup (see
ify the Properties of your own Subscriber Port on page 63
).
You can only execute a pickup for an external call if the necessary
call authorization mode was configured for your telephone (see
ter View and modify the Properties of your own Subscriber Port on
page 63
Important: To perform this function the take-over has to be released
on the answering machine (within the group or on each individual tel-
ephone).
