Using a BLA Line on the IP Phone
If you have either a global or per-line BLA configuration, and you want to share a
call on the line with a BLA group, you need to press the Hold button before
sharing the call with the group.
For example, if line 1 is configured for BLA, and you pick up a call on line 1, you
must press the Hold button to share the call with the BLA group.
If you pick up a call on line 1 configured for BLA, and another call comes in on
line 2, you can pick up line 2 without putting line 1 on hold. The line 1 call will
be on hold automatically; however it is on hold locally only. The line 1 call
cannot be shared with the BLA group.
Park Calls/Pick Up Parked Calls
The IP phones (including the 480i CT handset) have a park and pickup call feature
that allows you to park a call and pickup a call when required. There are two ways
a user or adminstrator can configure this feature:
• Using a static configuration
• Using a programmable configuration
The IP phones support the Park/Pickup feature on the Asterisk, BroadWorks,
Sylantro, and ININ PBX servers.
The following paragraphs describe the park and pickup methods of configuration
on the IP phones.
Note: The Hold button must be pressed for a call on a BLA line to be
shared with the BLA group.
Note: The IP phones accept both methods of configuration. However, to
avoid redundancy, Aastra Telecom recommends you configure either a
static configuration or a programmable configuration.
