Configuring Softkeys

Busy Lamp Field (BLF) Key

Notes:

•BLF functionality can only be programmed on the left softkeys.

•BLF feature availability is dependant on your call manager. Contact your System Administrator for more information.

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.

For example, a Supervisor configures BLFs on his phone for monitoring the status of a co-worker’s phone use (busy or idle). If the co-worker’s phone is in an idle state, the BLF softkey on the Supervisor’s phone is green. If the co-worker is on a call or when the co-worker picks up his phone to make a call, the BLF softkey on the Supervisor’s phone turns red, indi- cating that the worker’s phone is in use and busy. Additionally, the corresponding softkey LED illuminates to match the monitored user’s state, either off (idle), or solid (busy).

Note:

You can also use a BLF-configured key to automatically dial the BLF-monitored extension. Contact your System Admin- istrator for more information.
