      Setting BLF Keys

      This article will provide a walkthrough on setting BLF keys in the bvoip phone system.

      What is a BLF Key?

      Busy Lamp Field keys, also known as BLF keys, can be set up on the extension level in the bvoip phone system. BLF keys can be setup to cover the following items: 

      • Line Keys
      • BLF
      • Speed Dial
      • Custom Speed Dial
      • Shared Parking
      • Agent Login/Logout
      • Change Status

      Did You Manually Provision the Device?

      If you have manually provisioned a hard phone device, you will need to log into the device via web browser and manually adjust the line items as needed rather than follow the instructions below. 

      Yealink MP Series

      The Yealink MP phone series does not support DSS key as BLF in hybrid mode. If you are wishing to have a phone that supports BLF keys, then it is recommended to use a Yealink non-Teams based phone. 

      Setting up a BLF Key

      1. Log into the bvoip phone system.
      2. Click on the Extensions drop-down menu.

        1. BLF
          1. A second field will appear that will require the destination extension to be selected. 
        2. Speed Dial

        3. Custom Speed Dial

        4. Shared Parking
          1. A space will need to be selected. For more detailed information on setting up shared parking, please refer to our Setting up Shared Parking article. 
        5. Agent Login / Logout
          1. A second field will appear that will require the action of log in or log out to be selected. 
        6. Status Change
          1. A second field will appear so that the desired status can be triggered.
