Using a BLA Line on the IP Phone
If you have either a global or per-line BLA configuration, and you want to share a call on the line
with a BLA group, you need to press the Hold button before sharing the call with the group.
For example, if line 1 is configured for BLA, and you pick up a call on line 1, you must press the
Hold button to share the call with the BLA group.
If you pick up a call on line 1 configured for BLA, and another call comes in on line 2, you can
pick up line 2 without putting line 1 on hold. The line 1 call will be on hold automatically;
however it is on hold locally only. The line 1 call cannot be shared with the BLA group.
