Configuring Call Pickup

Call pickup allows you to answer a call that comes in on a directory number other than your own. When you hear an incoming call ringing on another phone, you can redirect the call to your phone by using the call pickup feature.

There are two types of call pickup available on Cisco IP Phones:

•Call Pickup allows users to pick up incoming calls within their own group. The appropriate call pickup group number is dialed automatically when a user activates this feature.

•Group Call Pickup allows users to pick up incoming calls within their own group or in other groups. Users must dial the appropriate call pickup group number when using this feature.

The procedures are the same for configuring both of these features, and they are described in:

•Configuring Call Pickup

This section describes the general steps for configuring the call pickup feature. Subsequent sections of this chapter describe the steps in more detail.

Step 2 Assign the desired directory numbers to a call pickup group by using the call pickup group number you created in Step 1. For details, see the "Assigning Directory Numbers to a Call Pickup Group" section.

Step 3 Add a Call Pickup or Group Call Pickup button to the phone templates where needed. For details, see the Modifying Phone Button Templates.
