BLF/Xfer Softkey 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 Speed Dial
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.
