Configure Monitoring of an Individual Line
You can configure a line key to monitor a coworker's line status. When you add speed dial to
the configuration, you can use the line key to call the monitored line. When you add call pickup
to the configuration, you can use the line key to answer incoming calls to the monitored line.
The line key functions as a Busy Lamp Field (BLF) key.
You can select any available line key to configure this feature. You can also select any line key
that is functioning as a speed-dial key or as a BLF key. Your configuration will override any
existing configuration for the key.
If your administrator has configured a BLF list for you, you can only monitor the lines of people
who are in the list.
Your phone may already monitor the entire list. You can still configure an individual key to
monitor a line. However, the phone will no longer monitor the line automatically as part of the
list. If you remove the individual BLF key configuration, the phone resumes monitoring the line
automatically as part of the list. Note that the phone adjusts the BLF list key assignment every
time it adds or removes a line for automatic monitoring. This results in changes to the positions
of BLF list keys.
