Direct Line Pickup—Active Line (I68LL)
Description
This feature allows users to access a ringing or held call, or join a call in
progress on a specific outside line (where LL is a line number from 01–24). This
feature is useful for picking up a ringing or held call or joining a call on a line
that is not assigned to the phone.

If
Line Access Restriction (#302)
is set to “No Access” or “Out Only” for a
line assigned to an extension, a user at the restricted extension cannot use
Direct Line Pickup to answer a call on that line that is ringing at another
extension (but the user can join a call or access a held or transferred call on
the line).
Direct Line Pickup cannot be used to access an active call at an extension
that has
Privacy
on, a held call at an extension that used
Exclusive Hold,
or
Conference Calls.
Calls picked up with this feature will get

information, unless
Line
Access Restriction (#302)
is used to prevent users at specific extensions
from viewing Caller ID for ringing calls.
