Pickup Group Extensions (#501)
Description
This System Programming procedure lets you assign extensions to a Pickup
Group. When a call rings at an extension in a Pickup Group, a user at any other
extension in the system can answer the ringing line by dialing the Pickup Group
code. The Pickup Group feature is useful when a user needs to answer calls on
lines not assigned to his or her phone. The system supports up to four Pickup
Groups.

the call.
