just pick up the phone... 1

[GUIsareapassingfad]

Hello
I have 3 lines appearing on 3 different phones 1498 1499 1465. the three phones are 2616. Each of the phones has its main line at key 0, but also has the 2 other lines at different keys on the phone as well, so anyone can be at any phone and pick up the correct line.
BUT
When 1498 rings on the 1499 phone, I have to press the key for 1498 to get the call. How do I set it up so all I have to do is just pick up the phone? do I need to make all 3 iterations of all 3 numbers either MCR or MCN? or is this something completely different?

right now all the keys are SCR or SCN
I would put up the phone settings, but we are still on a wyse terminal and not a pc/vt emulator, so I have no way to cut and paste.

Thank you

When you just pick up the phone it will always seize key 0, if these users are close together and can see that the user is not at their desk and just wants to answer the call use a pickup group.

thank you.
if there is no way to change what key it seizes, then my quest has completed!

LPK 2 (or whatever the highest key with a DN that you want to answer)
CLS IRA

This will allow you to pickup whatever line is ringing starting from key 0 up to LPK

I should have added that CLS NIA will allow answering a non-ringing key.
And CLS OLA will pickup the first available idle key for an outgoing call.
