Line Keys and Programmable Keys Busy Lamp Field (BLF) Key Note: 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 key's LED on the Supervisor's phone is off. If the co-worker is on a call or when the co-worker picks up his phone to make a call, the BLF key's LED on the Supervisor's phone turns on and is solid, indicating that the worker's phone is in use and busy. Note: You can also use a BLF-configured key to automatically dial the BLF-monitored extension. Contact your System Administrator for more information.
