Hey everyone,
I have a GXP2020 with a 2020EXT connected and 52 BFL's configured, everything is working on the BFL except when I press the button when it's blinking red it dials the extension but without the ** before it.
If I place the same extension on BFL on one of the 7 programmable keys that answers the other extension and dials the ** before?
We are running the latest 2.6.2.3 and latest GXP2020 firmware on the phones.

Thanks,
Jared

Why?

Why do you have a ** there? if you are monitoring extensions, you just need the extension number

I don't have **

I only put in the extension in the box and didn't put the **. When the extension gets a call and I press the flasing red light the extension calls the other extension instead of picking up the call.

I'm confused now!

What is the purpose of the ** ?

Are you trying to do a call pickup?

Correct, It is supposed to

Correct, It is supposed to perform call pickup if you have the BFL option set and when it's ringing press the flashing button.
Call pickup is functioning as I can pickup the call if I dial the feature code and that extension. But the sidecar is supposed to do it for the user. Also as I stated it works perfect if you set it up on the 7 programable buttons on the GXP2020.
