[Asterisk-Users] pickupgroup and callgroup on zapata.conf , how they work ?
Hi, I'm trying to figure that out . I've already read all the information I found on wiki , and googled that too . But I still can't understand how exactly they work. "...you can pickup a ringing phone if you have a group in your /pickupgroup/ that is in their /callgroup/." what does that exactly mean ? if someone could point me to somewhere I can find more information or help me to understand that I would be really happy =] . thanks, Pedro

For simple offices, just make these both the same ; callgroup=1 pickupgroup=1 This means that, for example, if you have channels 1, 2 and 3 on pickup group 1, if a call comes in and rings the phone on channel 1 then someone on the phone attached to channel 2 can pick up the call by dialing *8#.
