[Asterisk-Users] Pickup Button

[John Falk]

Our current telephone system supports a function called pickup, where a
user can press the pickup button dial an extension and take a call that
was meant for that extension.  (a teacher calls the principal however he
/she is not in so the secretary presses the pickup button dials his
extension and it routes the call to her phone)  How can i do this with
programming? Also we will be using all Cisco 7940 phones, their is an
extra button on the display can that be set to be a function? Such as
pickup?

Thank You
