Configuring BLF Page Switch
Use the following procedures to configure the BLF page switch feature on the IP phone.
Configurable Display for Blank BLF/List Softkeys
When softkeys for the 6735i, 6737i, 6755i, 6757i, 6757i CT model phones and the M675i Expansion Module are configured
as BLF/List keys on the phone but there are not enough members in the BLF/List on the Broadsoft server side, then a series
of question marks are displayed on screen beside some of the softkeys.
Administrators can configure whether or not the series of question marks should be hidden using the “keys noname hid-
den” parameter. If this parameter is set to “1” (enabled) then the series of question marks will be hidden and nothing will
be shown on the screen beside the affected softkeys. If this parameter is set to “0” (disabled) then the series of question
marks will be displayed on the screen indicating blank BLF/List softkeys.
Configuring the Display for Blank BLF/List Softkeys
Use the following procedure to configure the display for blank BLF/List softkeys:
Ring Signal Type for BLF
There is a global parameter “play a ring splash” that controls whether or not a ring splash is played when there is an
incoming call on a Busy Lamp Field (BLF) monitored extension. For the 6739i, 6755i, 6757i, and 6757i CT IP phones, you
can configure the phone to play the ring splash when idle only or when idle and also in an active call state. For all other
phones, the ring splash can only be configured to play when in an idle state.
In addition to this global ring splash control, administrators can control the ring splash alert pattern on a per key basis.
Each type of key can have a different ring splash alerting pattern and volume. When the phone UI receives the event
update from the line manager for BLF transitions to ringing state, the ring splash value is checked to take the appropriate
action.
The following alerting patterns are available for all IP phones:
• 0: Silence (ring splash off).
• 1: Normal (same as current BLF ring splash).
• 2: Normal delayed (After a delay of [x] seconds, the ring signal that is the same as the current BLF ring splash is played
[use the “ring splash delay” parameter to define the delay]).
• 3: Periodic (similar to the normal ring signal that is used by the phone itself. The actual ring melody is based on the cur-
rent melody set for the line to which the BLF key is associated [use the “ring splash frequency” parameter to define
