Location: Meridian, MS Rep Power: 5 ![]() | Audix LX "Ghost" voice mailbox The President of the company has a Call Pickup button on his phone (7407+). This allows him to pickup calls directed to his admins phone when she is away. He asked me yesterday why it is not working like it used to. That is, he claims he would push the CallPickup button and then lift the handset to take the call. The way it is working, he demonstrated it for me, is that he pushes the button (or as most people in Mississippi say "mash the button", which drives me crazy) it takes the call using his speakerphone. My first thought was that this seems normal to me but I dare not say so. My second thought was, why don't you just pickup the handset and then push the CallPickup button. Again, fear gripped me to my very soul. I have looked at the Features Description book. "When a member of a Call Pickup group is away and receives an incoming call, any member of the Call Pickup group can answer the call. The member simply goes off-hook and dials the Call Pickup access code or press the Call Pickup button." I have also created this scenario at my desk. Like any good Telecom Manager/Admistrator I have at least 4 phones in my office for just such an occasion. It worked just the way the book said. I have talked to his admin and explained it to her. Hopefully she can convince him that everything is ok. Problem is he may still be of the opinion that it worked a different way and that I don't know what the hec I'm talking about.... oh, well. Are there any consideration I might be missing? Richard | ||||||||

Location: Tolland, CT Rep Power: 7 ![]() | How did he think it used to work? If you don't pickup the handset and press the call pickup button, the voice transmission has to go somewhere....so the phone automatically chooses the speakerphone. Does he want the call to wait for him to pickup the handset? | ||||||||

Exactly. You took the words right out of my mouth. I sat there looking across his desk trying to figure out what he was thinking and realizing that it was futile. I talked to my supervisor about it last night and he asked the same question. Was the call supposed to go into a que of some sort? A temporal flux? ... It's interesting how an otherwise brilliant man can not get the concept. But then, he doesnt know how phone systems work and its my job to explain it. I talked to his admin yesterday and she'll explain it to him. Richard You don't have to know it all. You can't know it all. Someone knows the things you don't. It's a bad idea to run off those who do. | |||||||||
