Hi all, I'm trying to implement such a scenario where the "Chef" picks up his phone and his "secretary" can see that he is busy. Something like blf, I guess. But so far I've only managed to notify the "secretary" that the "chef" is receiving a call. I want to do it the other way around though. I'd like for her to see in her phone, the light corresponding to the "chef"'s extension light up whenever he uses the phone (also when he picks it up if that's possible). So she should always know when he's busy. Is there a way to do that? Thanks, David
To see? how? what phone do you use? Snoms imprement that, you got BLINKING and ON state BLINKING=calling or being called ON=on the phone 2008/6/24 Vazquez David <vazquez at cross-solution.de>:> Hi all, > > I'm trying to implement such a scenario where the "Chef" picks up his > phone and his "secretary" can see that he is busy.

I don't understand how you get notifications one way, but not the other though (unless you're doing it by not using BLF) What phones have you got? What do your hints look like in the extensions.conf file? You can't get the status of lifting the handset on a SIP phone though (well, not that I'm aware of) However, if it's an analogue phone on a TDM400 card (or equivalent, I guess) then it does work and the BLF LED on my Grandstream phone turns Red as soon as I take the analogue phone off-hook... So BLF is what you want, and optionally an analogue phone +TDM card for the boss... Gordon
Can I assume you're using Asterisk 1.4 and that you've configured your phones as peers? If this is the case, then you need to set limitonpeers to yes and call-limit to some value in sip.conf. Once this has been done, you should find that BLF behaves as you expect.
