Busy Lamp Field (BLF)
The BLF feature on the BluStar 8000i allows users to monitor their favorite contacts (speed dial list) for state changes. BLF
monitors the status (busy or ringing (yellow), available or idle (green), unavailable (red) of extensions on the BluStar 8000i.
Example
A supervisor has a worker added to her favorites and she configures BLF on her BluStar 8000i for monitoring the status of
the worker’s BluStar 8000i use (busy, ringing, available, and unavailable). When the worker picks up his BluStar 8000i to
make a call, the contact button goes yellow (busy) on the supervisor’s BluStar 8000i favorites screen to show that the
worker’s phone is in use.
BLF Setting
(For use with Asterisk)
The busy, available, and unavailable state is monitored for other BluStar 8000is configured on the Asterisk server. When
the monitored user is available, the contact button is green and says
Available
. When the monitored user is on an active
call, the contact button is yellow and says
Busy.
When the user is unavailable, the contact button is red and says
Unavaila-
ble.
BLF/List Setting
(For use with the BroadSoft Broadworks Rel 13 or higher platforms only)
The BLF/List feature on the BluStar 8000i is specifically designed to support the BroadSoft Broadworks Rel 13 Busy Lamp
Field feature. This feature allows the BluStar 8000i to subscribe to a list of monitored users defined through the Broad-
Works web portal.
In addition to monitoring the available, unavailable, and busy state, the BLF/List feature also supports the ringing state.
When the monitored user is available, the contact button is green and says
Available
. When the monitored user is in a ring-
ing state, the contact button is yellow and says
Ringing
. When the monitored user is on an active call, the contact button is
yellow and says
Busy.
When the user is unavailable, the contact button is red and says
Unavailable.
You can specify the BLF list URI that the BluStar
8000i
uses to access the required BLF list using the “
list uri
” parameter in
the configuration files.
