[cisco-voip] Help with Second line

[cips]

Since you are using CM8 can you not simply use the call pickup audio/visual
notification?

Does he need voicemail? If no set the “Call Forward and Call Pickup
Settings” to go to a secondary extension on the Clerks phones.

 

If the chief needs voicemail and wants the clerks to still answer, still set
the “Call Forward and Call Pickup Settings” to go to a secondary extension
on the Clerks phones but then add his voicemail on to the secondary
extension.

 

Call flow like.

 

Chief àRing no Answer à Clerks à No answer à Voicemail.

 

I hope that this helps. This is a no interaction setup. Call pickup doesn’t
work for everything.

CM 8.0
7940 phones.

I have 4 users in an office (3 clerks and one Chief).  If the Chief's phone
rings and he's not there to answer, they want to be able to pick it up.
I added them to a call pickup group, but this means when his phone rings,
they need to look at his office to see if he's there, if he's not then 
pick up the phone, press More, then PckUp.

Couldn't I just add his number as their second extension?  Of course, I
wouldn't want it to ring their phone or even show Caller ID.  Just they
would look, see he's not there, then press the 2nd line button.  Is there a
nice way to do this in 8?
