Softkeys as BLF List

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

You can set a softkey to BLF list.

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.

Note: Your system administrator must have BLF List enabled on the BroadWorks Server. Contact your system administrator for more information.

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 on an active call then a small telephone icon is shown with the handset off-hook.

Note: You can also use a BLF/List configured key to dial out.

Example

A receptionist has a 57i CT running Broadsoft firmware that subscribes to a list of extensions from the BroadWorks Application Server. On the 57i CT, the softkey LEDs illuminate either flashing, solid, or turn off depending on the state of those extensions.

Note: The Broadworks BLF feature is not the same as the Broadworks Shared Call Appearance (SCA) feature and does not permit call control over the moni- tored extension.

Setting a BLF List Softkey

The BLF List functions can be configured on the 57i CT using the Aastra Web UI only. If you set a softkey to use BLF/List, you must also enter a BLF List URI at Operation->Softkeys and XML->Services. The BLF List URI is the name of the BLF list defined on the BroadSoft BroadWorks Busy Lamp field page for your particular user. For example, my480i-blf- list@as.broadworks.com. The value of the BLF\List URI parameter must match the list name configured. Otherwise, no values display on the 57i CT screen and the feature is disabled.
