Considerations
There are several ways to access a line for answering calls:
—
On either a system phone or a standard phone, lift the handset to answer
a ringing call (if more than one call is ringing at a system phone, you get
the call that has been ringing for the longest time).
—
On a system phone, press a specific line or
i
button. You can
also use Direct Line Pickup to pick up a ringing or held call, or to join an
active call, by dialing

On a standard phone, you can use Direct Line Pickup to pick up a
ringing or held call, or to join an active call on a specific line: at intercom

and the two-digit line number.
For system phones and most standard phones, the user can identify the
type of call by the system’s ringing patterns. System display phones can
also show in the display the type of call that is ringing at the extension. (See
“Ringing Patterns” in Chapter 3.) Note that there are no unique ringing
patterns for forwarded calls.
