IP Phone Administrator Guide
BLF and XML softkeys/programmable keys monitor the states of an extension.
The extension states can be one of three states: "busy", "ringing" and "idle". If the
monitored extension is in the "ringing" state with an incoming call, and "Directed
call pickup" is enabled, pressing the BLF or XML key can pick up the incoming
call on the monitored extension.
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).
Note: The Asterisk and Epygi Quadro 4x/16x IP PBX servers support
this feature. For details about Asterisk support, contact Aastra Technical
