asterisk users - Sep 2019 - Polycom BLF Question

Hi All. I have an interesting scenario. We use the Polycom VXX phones and
have an auto-attendant on our Asterisk system. The receptionist can turn
the auto-attendant off and on as she would like (she dials 444 to enable
and 555 to disable). However, I’d like to have one of the BLFs on her
Polycom light up if the auto-attendant is enabled and off if it is
disabled.

Any suggestions on how I can have the one of the Polycom BLFs stay on if
the auto-attendant is enabled?

Any help is appreciated

Thanks,
Alex

    This is done via the custom extension state or hints. Basically you 
create a custom hint for 444 and monitor that on your phone like any 
other extension.  You then enable or disable the hint in the same 
dialplan for 444 and 555.
