- Enter a Short Name. This will appear as the label next to the button on the handset's screen.
- Change Share Call Appearance to shared
- In the Extended Function field, you must enter a string similar to the following:
fnc=blf;sub=12340101@103.5.91.132;usr=12340101@103.5.91.132;nme=Boardroom
fnc=blf;
activates the Busy Lamp Field function.

tells the handset and voice servers which extension to interact with
usr=12340101@103.5.91.132;
relates to the user of the extension, and
nme=Boardroom
gives that user a common name to display on the handset itself - Click Submit
- Finally, reboot the handset
The Line/LED that you've just set up will display the following behavior, dependant on the state of the monitored extension:
- If the extension is idle, the LED will be GREEN
- If the extension is in use, the LED will be RED
- If the extension is ringing, the led will blink RED
