Operational Features
The BLF and Speeddial transfer enhancement feature provides a simpler way of transferring calls using the keys called
BLF/Xfer and Speeddial/Xfer. The BLF/Xfer key combines the BLF and Xfer key's functionality together allowing the
user to transfer calls or use BLF with one key. Similarly, the Speeddial/Xfer key combines the Speeddial key and Xfer
key's functionality together allowing the user to press one key to speeddial and transfer calls.
Note:
It is recommended that you enable the "switch focus to ringing" parameter when using the BLF and Speeddial Trans-
fer key feature. For more information about this parameter, see
BLF/Xfer Key Requirements and Functionality
• BLF/Xfer and BLF
A BLF/Xfer key can be configured for subscribing to an extension and monitor the status of the extension, similar to
the BLF key functionality. Changes of the state of the monitored extension are indicated by a LED / Icon.
• BLF/Xfer and Blind Transfer Calls
When the focused line is in the "Connected" state, pressing the BLF/Xfer key transfers the call to the extension uncon-
ditionally, disregarding the status of the monitored extension.
If transferring a call to an extension fails, a message "Transfer Failed" displays on the phone, and you can reconnect the
call (get the call back) by pressing the line key again.
• BLF/Xfer and Call forward
When the focused line is in the "Ringing" state, pressing the BLF/Xfer key forwards the call to the extension uncondi-
tionally, disregarding the status of the monitored extension.
• BLF/Xfer and Speeddial
When the focused line and the monitored extension are idle, pressing the BLF/Xfer key causes the phone to go off-
hook and dial the number of the extension.
Speeddial/Xfer Key Requirements and Functionality
The Speeddial/Xfer key has the following capabilities:
• Speeddial/Xfer and Speeddial
When the phone is in the "Idle" state, pressing the Speeddial/Xfer key causes the phone to go offhook and dial the
predefined extension.
• Speeddial/Xfer and Blind Transfer
When the phone is connected to a call, pressing the Speeddial/Xfer key blind transfers the call to the predefined tar-
get.
If transferring a call fails, a message "Transfer Failed" displays, and you can reconnect the call (get the call back) by
pressing the line key again.
• Speeddial/Xfer and Call Forward
When the phone is in the "Ringing" state, pressing the Speeddial/Xfer key forwards the call to the predefined exten-
sion.
