asterisk users - May 2009 - OT: SIP hardphone with multi-color BLF

Hi,

Is anyone aware of a SIP hardphone with Busy Lamp Fields supporting 2 colors
(or more) ?
This could be very useful to support extended presence, for instance.

Regards

Hi,

Linksys have two BLF indicator colors: green and red.

Great !
How do you use them ?

Would it be easy to implement something like:
- BLF light off = away
- BLF green on = at desk
- BLF blinking red/green = ringing
- BLF red on = on call

Check out the Grandstream GXP-serie also...

http://www.grandstream.com/gxp2020.html

You can program the line buttons to support BLF (red, red blinking, green)

To feed your curiosity... I'm about to implement it.
I have several GXP2020 and GXP1200 Grandstream telephones. I'm reading
documentation to know how to start and what to expect.

I'm hoping that implementing BLF on these Grandstreams in combination with
Asterisk is easier then configuring sla.conf in Asterisk :-).

Jonas.

Gordon,

have you not defined a context [BLF_group] in your extensions.conf ??
And a subscribecontext in sip.conf ?

The Grandstream documentation does mention this.

Have you configured the speed dial buttons (to the right of your grandstream) or
the phone line buttons (to the left of the display) ?

Greetingz,
Jonas.
