Directed Call Pickup (BLF or XML Call Interception)
Directed call pickup (for Asterisk and sipXecs servers) 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. The phones also support the Busy Lamp Field (BLF) hold
state that is expressed by a slow flashing LED. When using an Asterisk server, if administrators configure BLF for Directed
Call Pickup, users are able to pickup the held call, as the phone sends the directed call pickup prefix to the extension
number.

Call Pickup, users are able to pickup the held call, as the phone sends the directed call pickup prefix to the extension
number.
You can use the Directed call pickup feature on the phone in multiple ways:
•
With the existing BLF feature on Asterisk or sipXecs, a user can dial “*76” or “*78” respectively, followed by the exten-
sion to pick up a ringing call on another phone. (For more information about BLF, see
sion to pick up a ringing call on another phone. (For more information about BLF, see

.
•
Using XML, a user can intercept a call by selecting an extension from a list and then pressing a “Pickup” softkey/pro-
grammable 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.

BLF and XML softkeys/programmable keys monitor the states of an extension. The extension states can be one of three
states: "busy", "ringing" and "idle". If the monitored extension is in the "ringing" state with an incoming call, and "Directed

Directed Call Pickup Prefix (optional)
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 Broad-
soft servers, you can enter a value of *98 for the “directed call pickup prefix” (for sipXecs, *78 is used). When the phone
performs the Directed Call Pickup after pressing a BLF or BLF/List softkey, the phone prepends the *98 value to the desig-
nated extension of the BLF or BLF/List softkey when dialing out.
