Phone Configuration for Monitoring Other Phones
You can configure the phone to monitor the status of lines on other phones. This feature is useful if users
routinely handle calls for colleagues and need to see if they are available to answer calls. The phone monitors
each line on a separate line key. The monitoring line keys function as Busy Lamp Field (BLF) keys. A BLF
is an LED that changes color to indicate the status of the monitored line:

If the phone is registered to a BroadSoft server, you can set up the phone to monitor multiple users, with a
single set of configurations.

Configure the Phone to Monitor Multiple Users' Lines

If the phone is registered to a BroadSoft server, you can configure the phone to monitor the entire BLF list.
The phone assigns available line keys in sequence to monitor the BLF list entries, and starts showing the status
of the monitored lines on the BLF keys.
Before you begin
• Make sure that the phone is registered to a BroadSoft server.
• You set up a BLF list for a user of the phone on the BroadSoft server.
