Activate or Deactivate Monitoring of the BLF List

If your administrator has configured a Busy Lamp Field (BLF) list for you, you can activate or
deactivate monitoring of the entire BLF list. The phone monitors each user on a separate line
key. When you activate monitoring, the phone assigns available line keys in sequence to
monitor the BLF list entries.
The phone may use line keys both on the phone and any Key Expansion Module attached to
the phone, or only the Key Expansion Module. This is controlled by your administrator.
The BLF list keys function the same way as individual BLF keys. When you activate monitoring,
the phone displays the status of the monitored lines on the BLF list keys.
The sequential order of the users in the BLF list is set by your administrator and the
corresponding BLF list keys maintains the order. You can choose to configure another feature
such as speed dial on a BLF list key at any time. However, it renders the line key unavailable for
the BLF list.
When you make any change to line key configurations, the phone redoes the BLF list key
assignment. The phone only assigns available line keys in the same order. (Note: This can
result in changes to the positions of BLF list keys.)
The phone monitors as many users as possible with the available line keys. You can make
more line keys available for monitoring the list by removing features configured on those keys.
