Abstract
A method is provided for implementing call acceptance groups extending between network nodes in a communications network having a plurality of network nodes. An arrival of a call for a terminal which is coupled to a first network node and has an assigned call acceptance group is also signaled to all of the other network nodes that are to be determined and to which terminals of the call acceptance group are coupled. The network nodes subsequently cause that information to be displayed at the terminals of the call acceptance group which are coupled to the network nodes, and permit the call to be accepted at each of those terminals.
