Dial Codes

Call Pick-up

If you hear a particular extension ringing, and you know that person is not able to take the call, you can take the call using the ‘Call Pickup’ feature. To do this, type: *04{ext} This will redirect the active call from the specified extension to your extension.
You can also retrieve a call from a ringing extension without specifying the extension number. To do this, type *4 followed by the send key. This will redirect the first available active call to your extension.

Call Parking

If you wish to “park” a call and then pick up the call from another extension, then you can park the call in a ‘Parking orbit’ and then pick up the call from another extension.
To park a call:
While on the call, dial *5. The system will read back the parking extension where call is parked.
For example *5 will place the call in the parking orbit and read to you extension 6000.
*02 will place the call in the parking orbit 2 etc.
To pick up a parked call:
Dial the parked number from any extension.
For example dial 6000 to pick up any calls parked in parking orbit 6000.
