For example:

exten -> 9995551212,hint,SIP/9995551212

Add the following in the Asterisk sip.conf file for each subscriber if it is not defined already.

For example:

[9995551212]

Subscribecontext=sip

BroadSoft BLF Configuration

You can enable the BLF feature on BroadSoft BroadWorks Rel 13 or higher through the BroadWorks Web Portal. Each user must have the Busy Lamp Field service enabled for their user. The user must add each desired extension to the “Monitored Users List” on the Busy Lamp Field service page and also enter in a list name for the monitored users BLF list on the same page.

Changes to the “Monitored Users List” are dynamic and the Aastra IP phones are automatically updated without requiring a restart.
