BUSY LAMP FIELD (BLF)

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.
Notes:
1. Applicable to the 6865i, 6867i, and 6869i IP phones only.
2. BLF feature availability is dependent on your call manager.
Example
A Supervisor configures BLFs on his phone for monitoring the status of a worker's phone use
(busy or idle). When the worker picks up his phone to make a call, a busy indicator on the
Supervisor's phone shows that the worker's phone is in use and busy.
BLF SETTING
On the 6865i IP phone, the LED lights next to each BLF programmable key illuminate steady
to indicate the monitored line is off-hook or unregistered. The LED goes off when the line is idle.
On the 6867i and 6869i, the busy and idle states are indicated by the color of the softkey button
on screen (i.e. red for busy, green for idle) as well as the LED indicators (i.e. solid for busy and
off for idle).
Note: You can configure a maximum of 50 BLFs shared between the phone and any
attached expansion modules.
You can configure a BLF key on the IP Phones using the configuration files or the Mitel Web UI.
BLF/LIST SETTING
(For use with the BroadSoft BroadWorks Rel 13 or higher platform only)
The BLF/List feature on the IP phones is specifically designed to support the BroadSoft
BroadWorks Rel 13 Busy Lamp Field feature. This feature allows the IP phone to subscribe to
a list of monitored users defined through the BroadWorks web portal.
