[Asterisk-Users] I don't think I understand "Call pickup"

[Mickey Binder]

What if I have two sip phones and a call arrives for #1 from my zap
interface, should I be able to do a pickup from #2 as well?

And how would my configuration look, do I have to specify anything in
sip.conf or is it enough to specify it in zapata.conf?
