Operational Features

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-194.
Example
A receptionist has a 6757i running BroadSoft firmware that subscribes to a list of extensions from the BroadWorks Applica-
tion Server. Each monitored extension in the list shows up individually on the 6757i screen next to a softkey button. The
softkey icons on the screen change depending on the state of the extensions.
On 3-Line LCD phones running BroadSoft firmware, the programmable key LEDs illuminate either flashing, solid, or turn
off depending on the state of those extensions.
On the 6739i , the BLF states are indicated by icons as well as by the color of the softkey button on screen (red for busy,
flashing red for ringing, and black for idle).
On the 6867i, the BLF states are indicated by the color of the softkey button on screen (red of busy, yellow for ringing, and
green for idle) as well as the LED indicators (i.e. solid for busy, flashing for ringing, and off for idle).
Asterisk BLF Configuration
You can enable the BLF feature on Asterisk to enable monitoring for specific extensions. BLF on Asterisk is possible
through the “hint” extension parameter.
Add the following in the Asterisk extensions.conf file for each target extension being monitored.
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.
Reference
For sample BLF configurations, see AppendixD, “Sample BLF Softkey Settings.”
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.
