Busy Lamp Field
The Busy Lamp Field (BLF) feature is an alternate presence-monitoring mechanism for the IP
Deskphone that allows presence functionality on proxies that support BLF.
BLF is an icon state for a corresponding Speed Dial key on an IP Deskphone; the icon state
tells you if another extension connected to the same SIP server is busy. You do not enable or
disable this feature; BLF is configured by your system administrator. If enabled, the IP
Deskphone subscribes to the proxy and receives the presence state list for all the users it is
configured to watch. Call states and the corresponding presence icons are shown in the
following table:
State Meaning Icon
Unknown The presence of the monitored IP Deskphone
is unknown
Terminated The monitored IP Deskphone is not involved in
a call and is available
Ringing The monitored IP Deskphone is ringing
Flashing
On the phone The monitored IP Deskphone is busy on a call
Note:
If you have the required permissions, you can answer a call placed to a monitored IP
Deskphone. To answer, press the flashing Ringing button.
Group Call Pickup
With the Group Call Pickup feature, all members in a pickup group can answer a call that is
ringing at another group member telephone. If more than one telephone is ringing, the system
selects the extension that has been ringing the longest.
One or more pickup groups are created by your system administrator . A pickup group is a
collection, or list of individual telephone extensions. A pickup group is the way to connect
individual extensions together. A user extension can belong to only one pickup group.
To activate the Group Call Pickup feature on your IP Deskphone, enter the FAC or FNE
provided to you by your system administrator.
