Allows you to enter a specific prefix string (depending on what is
available on your server), that the phone automatically dials when
dialing the Directed Call Pickup number.
For example, for BroadSoft servers, you can enter a value of *98 for
the "directed call pickup prefix". For Asterisk servers, you can
enter a value of *76. For sipXecs proxy servers, you can enter a
value of *78. When the phone performs the Directed Call Pickup after
pressing a BLF or BLF/List softkey, the phone prepends the *98
value to the designated extension of the BLF or BLF/List softkey
when dialing out.
Notes:
• The default method for the phone to use is Directed Call Pickup
over BLF if the server provides applicable information. If the
Directed Call Pickup over BLF information is missing in the
messages to the server, the Directed Call Pickup by Prefix
method is used if a value for the prefix code exists in the
configuration.
• You can define only one prefix, which will be applicable to all BLF-
or BLF/List-monitored extensions.
• The phone that picks up displays the prefix code + the extension
number (for example, *981234 where prefix key = *98, extension
= 1234).
• Symbol characters are allowed (for example "*").
