Aastra Telecom 53I, 57I CT, 55I manual Directed call pickup prefix

Configuration Parameters

Operational, Basic, and Advanced Parameters

Parameter –	Aastra Web UI	Basic Settings->Preferences->
directed call pickup prefix		Directed Call Pickup Settings
Directed Call Pickup by Prefix	Configuration Files	aastra.cfg, <mac>.cfg
(in Web UI)
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 “*”).
Format	Integer
Default Value	Not Applicable
