How this Feature Works when Directed Call Pickup is Disabled with BLF or BLF/List
You can enable/disable “Directed Call Pickup” using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.
Enabling/Disabling Directed Call Pickup
Use the following procedure to enable or disable the Directed Call Pickup feature on the IP phone.
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.
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).
Notes:
• The default method for the phone to use is Directed Call Pickup over BLF if the server provides applicable informa-
tion. 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).
Note:
The “Directed Call Pickup” feature is disabled by default.
