softkey.

Call Pickup

Call pickup allows a user to pick up calls for another user on the phone that the user owns. For call pickup,
the user must press the buttons or softkeys on the phone and dial the call pickup extension from the dial plan.
Enabling call pickup in the usage profile creates the call pickup softkey or button on the phone. For more
information on call pickup softkeys, see

GPickup

and

OPickUp

.

If a phone belongs to a hunt list and the phone rings due to a call that was made by calling the pilot extension,
users cannot use the call pickup feature to pick up such a call. For information on call pickup groups, see

Call Transfer (Direct and Consultative)

Consultative transfer allows a user to redirect connected calls from phones to another number, but the user
must consult the user of the other number before transferring the call.

Direct transfer joins two established calls (call is in hold or in connected state) into one call and drops the
feature initiator from the call. Direct transfer does not initiate a consultation call and does not put the active
call on hold.

For transfer, the user must press the buttons or softkeys on the phone.

Call transfer is automatically available with the Cisco Business Edition 3000 by default. You do not need
to perform any configuration tasks for the transfer functionality to work on the phone.

Note

Call Waiting

The Call waiting feature lets users receive a second incoming call on the same line without disconnecting the
first call. When the second call arrives, the user receives a brief call-waiting indicator tone. For call waiting
to work, you must configure rollover lines in the phone configuration (either in the Cisco-provided .xls data
configuration file or the Phone page in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface). The user
must press buttons on the phone for call waiting to work.

Caller ID

Caller identification is a phone number or name that appears on the phone display. For external calls that go
through the PSTN, you can only specify phone numbers. For internal calls, you can specify an extension or
the name.

The External Caller ID setting on the User page (Users/Phones > Users) allows you to enter a phone number
for the user that is displayed when the user places outgoing calls through the PSTN.
