This module allow the administrator to quickly create and administrate capture groups. It will configure every extension's capturegroup and pickupgroup automatically.
Additionally it will generate a virtual extension number which, which notifies users (phones) of calls in the capture group.
Using the following asterisk 1.4.x patch (File asterisk-1.4-pickupbycallid.patch)
one can subscribe phones to the virtual extension generated by this module and receive notifications of all calls received by the groups' members, and may pickup the incoming call by pressing the subscribed button (tested with snom phones and firmware >= 7.1.35).
