Directed Call Pickup Prefix (optional)
The optional "directed call pickup prefix" 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". 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.
How this feature works when Directed Call Pickup is enabled with BLF or BLF/List
1.
Phone A monitors Phone B via BLF/List.
2.
Phone C calls Phone B; Phone B rings.
3.
If you press the BLF/List softkey on Phone A, it picks up the ringing line on Phone B.
4.
Phone C connects to Phone A.
How this feature works when Directed Call Pickup is disabled with BLF or BLF/List
1.
Phone A monitors Phone B via BLF/List.
2.
Phone C calls Phone B; Phone B rings.
3.
If you press the BLF/List softkey on Phone A, it performs a speeddial to Phone B.
4.
Phone C and Phone A are ringing Phone B on separate lines (if available).
You can enable/disable "Directed Call Pickup" using the configuration files or the Aastra Web
UI.
5-128
Notes:
1. 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.
2. You can define only one prefix at a time for the entire BLF/List.
3. The phone that picks up displays the prefix code + the extension
number (for example, *981234 where prefix key = *98, extension =
1234).
Note: The "Directed Call Pickup" feature is disabled by default.
