Using a BLA Line on the IP Phone

If you have either a global or per-line BLA configuration, and you want to share a call on the line with a BLA group, you need to press the Hold button before sharing the call with the group.

For example, if line 1 is configured for BLA, and you pick up a call on line 1, you must press the Hold button to share the call with the BLA group.

If you pick up a call on line 1 configured for BLA, and another call comes in on line 2, you can pick up line 2 without putting line 1 on hold. The line 1 call will be on hold automatically; however it is on hold locally only. The line 1 call cannot be shared with the BLA group.

Note: The Hold button must be pressed for a call on a BLA line to be shared with the BLA group.

Park Calls/Pick Up Parked Calls

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 adminstrator can configure this feature:

•Using a static configuration

•Using a programmable configuration

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.

The IP phones support the Park/Pickup feature on the Asterisk, BroadWorks, Sylantro, and ININ PBX servers.

The following paragraphs describe the park and pickup methods of configuration on the IP phones.
