Operational Features

Busy Lamp Field (BLF) (480i/480i CT/9133i only)

The BLF feature on the IP phones allows a specific extension to be monitored for state changes. BLF monitors the status (busy or idle) of extensions on the IP phone.

Note: The BLF setting is applicable to the Asterisk server only.

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)

On the 480i and 480i CT, the busy and idle indicators show on the IP phone screen display next to the softkey programmed for BLF functionality. When the monitored user is idle, an icon with the handset on-hook shows next to the BLF softkey. When the monitored user is on an active call, a small telephone icon is shown with the handset off-hook.

On the 9133i, 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.
