IP Phone Release Notes 2.0.2

Enhancements/Changes in 2.0.2, Build 1040

Issue Number	Description of Feature/Enhancement
	Directed Call Pickup with BLF or BLF-List Feature
	A feature has been added to the IP phones that allows an Administrator to configure
	Directed Call Pickup with a BLF or BLF List softkey. An optional parameter has also
	been added called, “directed call pickup prefix” (in configuration files) or the
	“Directed Call Pickup by Prefix” (in Aastra Web UI).
	How this feature works when Directed Call Pickup is enabled with BLF or BLF/List:
	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 picks up the ringing
		line on Phone B.
	4.	Phone C connects to Phone A.
	How this feature works when Directed Call Pickup is disabled with BLF or BLF/List:
	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).
	The optional “directed call pickup prefix” 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 pre-pends 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).
