Operational IP Phone Features
Directed Call Pickup (BLF or XML Call Interception)
Directed call pickup is a feature on the phones that allows a user to intercept a call
on a ringing phone which is part of the same interception group. You can use the
Directed call pickup feature on the phone in two ways:
• With the existing BLF feature on Asterisk, a user can dial “*76” followed by
the extension to pick up a ringing call on another phone. (For more
information about BLF, see
“Busy Lamp Field (BLF)” on page 41
• Using XML, a user can intercept a call by selecting an extension from a list
and then pressing a “Pickup” softkey/programmable key. To use the Directed
call pickup feature from an XML application, you must list all ringing
extensions using the AastraIPPhoneTextMenu XML object in an XML
script. This allows the user to select the ringing extension from a text menu
without having to dial. The following illustration shows an example of how
this feature displays to the LCD from an XML application.:
(For more information about using the AastraIPPhoneTextMenu object, see
Appendix G , the section, “Text Menu Object (Menu Screens)” on page G-6 .
