"group" has nothing to do with either callgroup or pickupgroup. "callgroup" is a group of incoming "calls". "pickupgroup" is for membership purposes.
A channel that belongs to a pickupgroup, can pickup all incoming calls on the same callgroup by hitting *8#. A channel can belong to multiple pickupgroup's, ie: pickupgroup=1,2,3 This channel would then be able to pickup calls on callgroup 1, 2 or 3 by hitting *8#. -wade > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:asterisk-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of carlos del mayor > Sent: Monday, July 07, 2003 12:27 PM > To: asterisk users > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] callgroup and pickupgroup > > Hi, > I asked a time ago what were callgroup and pickup > group used for.
