Function
Allows you to intercept - or pickup -
a call on a monitored extension.
When you press the DCP softkey,
your IP phone displays a list of
currently ringing numbers. You
select the call you want to "pickup"
(intercept) from this list and are
connected to the call.
Refer to the AastraLink IP Phone
User's Guide for instructions on how
to intercept calls using the Directed
Call Pickup feature.
Busy Lamp Field. Allows you to
monitor a specific extension for state
changes (busy, idle and ringing).
When you configure a BLF softkey,
an indicator (either an icon or a
LED) displays on your IP phone next
to the softkey. The icon shows
whether the extension you are
monitoring is "busy" (on the phone)
or "idle."
Refer to the AastraLink IP Phone
User's Guide for instructions on how
to monitor calls using BLF softkeys.
Note: It is not recommended to use
BLF in the default softkey profiles,
since BLF is applied to all users of
the selected phone model. BLF
imposes realtime overhead on the
AastraLink call processing which
may degrade overall system
performance if applied too
gratuitously.
