Directed Call Pickup (BLF or XML Call Interception)

Directed call pickup is a feature on the phones that allows a user to intercept a call on a ringing phone which is part of the same interception group. You can use the Directed call pickup feature on the phone in two ways:

•With the existing BLF feature on Asterisk, a user can dial “*76” followed by the extension to pick up a ringing call on another phone. (For more information about BLF, see “Busy Lamp Field (BLF)” on page 41

•Using XML, a user can intercept a call by selecting an extension from a list and then pressing a “Pickup” softkey/programmable key. To use the Directed call pickup feature from an XML application, you must list all ringing extensions using the AastraIPPhoneTextMenu XML object in an XML script. This allows the user to select the ringing extension from a text menu without having to dial. The following illustration shows an example of how this feature displays to the LCD from an XML application.:
