Aastra Telecom 41-001343-02 manual BLF Setting, BLF/List Setting

Operational Features

Example

A Supervisor configures BLFs on his phone for monitoring the status of a worker’s phone use (busy or idle). When the worker picks up his phone to make a call, a busy indicator on the Supervisor’s phone shows that the worker’s phone is in use and busy.

BLF Setting

(For use with Asterisk and sipXecs servers)

On 8 and 11-Line LCD phones, the busy and idle indicators show on the IP phone screen display next to the softkey or pro- grammable key configured for BLF functionality. When the monitored user is idle, an icon with the handset on-hook shows next to the BLF softkey or programmable key. When the monitored user is on an active call, a small telephone icon is shown with the handset off-hook.

On 3-Line LCD phones, the LED lights next to each BLF programmable key illuminate steady to indicate the monitored line is off-hook or unregistered. The LED goes off when the line is idle.

On the 6739i , the busy and idle states are indicated by icons as well as by the color of the softkey button on screen (i.e. red for busy, black for idle).

On the 6867i, the busy and idle states are indicated by the color of the softkey button on screen (i.e. red for busy, green for idle) as well as the LED indicators (i.e. solid for busy and off for idle).

Note:

You can configure a maximum of 50 BLFs on the M670i, and M675i Expansion Modules. You can configure a maximum of 48 BLFs on the M680i Expansion Modules.

You can configure a BLF key on the IP Phones using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.

BLF/List Setting

(For use with the BroadSoft Broadworks Rel 13 or higher platform only)

The BLF/List feature on the IP phones is specifically designed to support the BroadSoft Broadworks Rel 13 Busy Lamp Field feature. This feature allows the IP phone to subscribe to a list of monitored users defined through the BroadWorks web portal.

In addition to monitoring the idle and busy state, the BLF/List feature also supports the ringing state. When the monitored user is idle, there is a small telephone icon shown with the handset on-hook. When the monitored user is in ringing state, there is a small bell icon shown. When the monitored user is on an active call then a small telephone icon is shown with the handset off-hook.

On 3-Line LCD phones, the LED lights next to each BLF programmable key illuminate steady to indicate the monitored line is off-hook or unregistered. The LED goes off when the is idle. When the monitored extension is ringing, the LED flashes.

Note:

The Broadworks BLF feature is not the same as the Broadworks Shared Call Appearance (SCA) feature and does not per- mit call control over the monitored extension.

You can configure a BLF/List key on the IP Phones using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI. You can also specify a BLF list URI that the phone uses to access the required BLF list. You can specify a BLF List URI using the “list uri” parameter in the configuration files or the BLF List URI field in the Aastra Web UI at the path Operation->Softkeys/Programmable Keys/Expansion Module Keys->Services->BLF List URI. For more information about the “list uri” parameter, see Appendix A, the section, “BLF List URI Settings” on page A-192.

Note:

On the 6739i, you can configure a BLF/List softkey using the IP Phone UI also. For more information, see the Aastra Model 6739i IP Phone User Guide.
