Questions about the Busy Lamp Field

Tip: Create the BLF list with your favorites at the top of the list. They will
always appear at the top when the list is unsorted.

What does the

icon mean?

When it appears next to an extension, it means that the extension is
designated as private. Attendants see the name and number of the extension
on their screens; other extension users see only “Private” on their display.
You may not want to give out any information to callers about the status of
locked extensions.

What do the icons in the

column mean?

These icons appear beside extensions. They indicate the following states:

idle phone, Do Not Disturb* off

idle phone, Do Not Disturb* on

ringing phone, Do Not Disturb* off

ringing phone, Do Not Disturb* on

busy phone, Do Not Disturb* off

busy phone, Do Not Disturb* on

Blank
(no icon)

Not monitored or cannot be monitored. The absence of icons
next to all the BLF entries indicates that the console has lost
connection with the 3300 ICP or has failed over to a secondary
3300 ICP.

The column header icon (

)

also dims when

there a loss of connection or a fail-over.

* Do Not Disturb applies to extensions only.

Why do the BLF columns sometimes appear unsorted?

If you sort any of the BLF list columns and exit the Busy Lamp Field, the
list remains in the order that you last specified.

Because the list maintains the order that you last specified, it may
appear “unsorted” when you re-enter the BLF area.

To re-sort the list in an order that you prefer, simply click on the column
header once or twice, until you see the desired sort order.
