BLF Configuration User Guide

 

OVERVIEW OF FUNCTIONS 

Grandstream  GXP21xx/17xx/16xx  Enterprise  IP  Phone  supports  Busy  Lamp  Field  (BLF)  feature. 

GXP21xx/17xx/16xx supports this feature by changing the color and status of the MPK/VPK indicators, associated 

with  the monitored  users,  on  the mounted MPK  extensions  board  or  Programmable  Keys  on  the phone body. 

GXP21xx/17xx/16xx phones support this feature by changing the LED keys color and status on the MPKs/VPKs 

on phone body, GXP2140 and GXP2170 are expandable with 1 to 4 expansion modules to support BLF feature. 

Additionally, the phone system is also able to pick up the calls to the monitored extensions. 

Configuration Via Web Browser 

GXP21xx/17xx/16xx embedded Web server responds to HTTP/HTTPS GET/POST requests. Embedded HTML 

pages allow a user to configure the IP phone through a Web browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and 
Microsoft’s IE. To access the Web GUI: 

1. 

Connect the computer to the same network as the phone. 

2. 

Make sure the phone is turned on and shows its IP address. You may check the IP address by 
pressing Up arrow button when phone is at idle state. 

3. 

Open a Web browser on your computer. 

4. 

Enter the phone’s IP address in the address bar of the browser. 

5. 

Enter the administrator’s login and password to access the Web Configuration Menu 

Note: 

 

The computer has to be connected to the same sub-network as the phone. This can be easily done by 
connecting  the  computer  to  the  same  hub  or  switch  as  the  phone  connected  to.  In  absence  of  a 
hub/switch (or free ports on the hub/switch), please connect the computer directly to the PC port on 
the back of the phone. 

 

If the phone is properly connected to a working Internet connection, the IP address of the phone will 
display in MENU->Status->Network Status. This address has the format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where xxx 
stands for a number from 0-255. Users will need this number to access the Web GUI. For example, if 
the phone has IP address 192.168.40.154, please enter "http://192.168.40.154" in the address bar of 
the browser. 

 

There are two default passwords for the login page:
