file for each target extension being monitored.
For example:

Add the following in the Asterisk
sip.conf
file for each subscriber if it is not defined already.
For example:

Subscribecontext=sip
BroadSoft BLF Configuration
You can enable the BLF feature on BroadSoft BroadWorks Rel 13 or higher through the
BroadWorks Web Portal. Each user must have the Busy Lamp Field service enabled for their
user. The user must add each desired extension to the “Monitored Users List” on the Busy Lamp
Field service page and also enter in a list name for the monitored users BLF list on the same
page.
Changes to the “Monitored Users List” are dynamic and the Aastra IP phones are automatically
updated without requiring a restart.
