The "*8" is indeed a hard-coded feature in many channels, but only  
works if you've enabled callgroups and pickupgroups in the channel  
configurations, and it's a dialstring, not a DTMF code.

The blind transfer functionality is enabled by the 'tT' options to  
dial(), like the disconnect call feature.

The dynamic features is something you've enabled in features.conf.  
They require dialplan intervention to work.

Call parking are again extensions, not DTMF codes. To work, requires  
you to include the context in the dialplan for a device/line.

So apart from the dynamic features, what you see here is the Asterisk  
defaults that can be changed in features.conf, but will always be  
there. They only work if you enable them in other files.
