Busy Lamp Field (Blf) Key - Mitel 6865i User Manual

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.
