Assigning Busy Lamp Field, Call Pickup, and Speed Dial
Functions to Unused Lines on a SPA525G, SPA962 or
SPA942
You can configure unused or idle lines on a SPA525G, SPA962 or SPA942 to
interact with another phone line in the system. For example, if you have two idle
lines on an assistant's phone, you can configure those lines to show the status of a
supervisor's phone (Busy Lamp Field, or BLF). You can also configure the idle lines
so that they can be used to speed dial the supervisor's phone, or pick up calls that
are ringing on the supervisor's phone.
A monitored extension must be private, not shared. Additionally, an extension can
only be monitored by one other extension.
Configuring Call Pickup and Busy Lamp Field
You must enable BLF to configure call pickup.
In this example, the assistant Bob (extension 200) has an idle lines (line 4) on his
SPA962. He would like to be able to see if his supervisor Stephanie (extension
300) is on the phone, and pick up calls that are ringing at her extension.
To configure this feature for Bob's SPA962:
Log in to the web administration interface.
Click Admin Login.
Click advanced.
Click the Phone tab.
Find the first line to configure (line 4 in this example):
