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” (for sipXecs, *78 is used). 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 Mitel Web UI.
ENABLING/DISABLING DIRECTED CALL PICKUP
Use the following procedure to enable or disable the Directed Call Pickup feature on the IP
phone.
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, which will be applicable to all BLF- or
BLF/List-monitored extensions.
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.
