Operational IP Phone Features
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 
 on 
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.:
