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).

Notes:

•The default method for the phone to use is Directed Call Pickup over BLF if the server provides applicable informa- tion. 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.

•You can define only one prefix, which will be applicable to all BLF- or BLF/List-monitored extensions.

•The phone that picks up displays the prefix code + the extension number (for example, *981234 where prefix key = *98, extension = 1234).

You can enable/disable “Directed Call Pickup” using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.

Note:

The “Directed Call Pickup” feature is disabled by default.
