(in Web UI)
Aastra Web UI Basic Settings->Preferences->
Directed Call Pickup Settings
Configuration Files aastra.cfg, <mac>.cfg
Description 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.
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 at a time for the entire BLF/List.
3. The phone that picks up displays the prefix code + the extension
number (for example, *981234 where prefix key = *98, extension =
1234).
4. Symbol characters are allowed (for example “*”).
