Monitor a Coworker's Line - Busy Lamp Field

With the busy lamp field feature, you can monitor the line status of a coworker or supervisor. This feature is useful
if you routinely handle calls for a colleague and need to see their ability to answer a call.
If this feature is configured on your phone, the following LED colors display on a line key:
• A green LED - Monitored line is available.
• A red LED - Monitored line is busy.
• A red fast blinking LED - A call is ringing to the monitored line.
• An amber LED - A configuration error occurred when this feature was being set up.
On your phone, you see the caller ID for the calls that you receive. For lines that you monitor, you do not see
caller ID.
You can use this feature with speed dial or call pickup for even greater flexibility. You may see different icons
displayed on your phone based on your combination of features. The following table shows the various busy lamp
field icons based on each feature combination.
