Configure BLF on SNOM

Summary

Busy Lamp field (BLF) feature allows users to monitor several other extensions.

Idle state – LED is off
Ringing state – LED is blinking
Busy or Connected state – LED is on
The "Call Pickup” function is usually configured together with BLF allowing, for example, a receptionist to pickup ringing calls with a press of a single button.

Note:Most phones are supported by the OnSIP Boot server and all BLF configuration should be done via the boot server configuration page under resources. However, SNOM phones are not currently supported on the OnSIP Bootserver and are therefore unable to be configured automatically and must be provisioned manually to take advantage of the BLF feature.
