Hi David, Couple of days before I post a simalr issue I am facing in the 5 series phones.
Here is the problem... "transfers to a BLF key, cannot be directed call pickup'd in Asterisk" Here is the answer from the aastra tech support... transfers to a BLF key, cannot be directed call pickup'd in Asterisk ; probably a server issue; I can look into this more but my lab suggested that any one can do a directed call pickup to the target extension unless you are the initiator of the xfer. This seems to be impossible in asterisk programming for some reason, even though you are no longer in control of that line as it was blind transferred. Seems to be a asterisk bug. Is any one have this working?
