Operational IP Phone Features
Park/Pick Up Key
The IP phones (including the 57i CT handset) have a park and pickup call feature
that allows you to park a call and pickup a call when required. There are two ways
a user or administrator can configure this feature:
• Using a static configuration (globally configures park and pickup)
• Using a programmable configuration (using a key)
The IP phones support the Park/Pickup feature on the Asterisk, BroadWorks,
Sylantro, and ININ PBX servers.
The following paragraph describes the configuration of a park and pickup key on
the IP phone. For information about configuring the park and pickup static
configuration method see “Park Calls/Pick Up Parked Calls” on page 5-35.
Park/Pickup Programmable Configuration (using a key)
The programmable method of configuration creates park and pickup keys
(softkeys, programmable keys, extension module keys) that you can configure on
the IP phones.
For the 55i, 57i, and 57i CT you can set a key as "Park" or "Pickup" and then:
• specify a customized label to display on the Phone UI
• specify a value
• specify which line to use
• specify the state of the park and/or pickup keys
For the 53i, you can set a programmable key as "Park" or "Pickup" and then:
• specify a value
• specify a line to use
Note: The IP phones accept both methods of configuration. However, to
avoid redundancy, Aastra Telecom recommends you configure either a
static configuration or a programmable configuration.
