BLF/Xfer
The
BLF
key allows one or more extensions to be monitored, and once there is any state change with those extensions, the
key shows the status of the monitored lines. The
Transfer
key allows a call to be transferred to other recipients blindly or
consultatively. The
BLF/Xfer
key combines the
BLF
and
Transfer
keys' functionality together allowing the user to transfer
calls or use BLF with one key.
BLF/Xfer Key Requirements and Functionality
•
BLF/Xfer and BLF: A
BLF/Xfer
key can be configured for subscribing to an extension and monitor the status of the
extension, similar to the
BLF
key functionality. Changes of the state of the monitored extension are indicated by the
key’s graphical button image as well as the key’s LED.
•
BLF/Xfer and Blind Transfer Calls: When the focused line is in the connected state, pressing the
BLF/Xfer
key transfers
the call to the extension unconditionally, disregarding the status of the monitored extension.
If transferring a call to an extension fails, a message
Transfer Failed
displays on the phone, and you can reconnect the
call (get the call back) by pressing the line key again.
•
BLF/Xfer and Call Forward: When the focused line is in the ringing state, pressing the
BLF/Xfer
key forwards the call to
the extension unconditionally, disregarding the status of the monitored extension.
•
BLF/Xfer and Speed Dial: When the focused line and the monitored extension are idle, pressing the
BLF/Xfer
key causes
the phone to go offhook and dial the number of the extension.
Note:
BLF/Xfer functionality can only be programmed on the left softkeys.
Note:
It is recommended that you enable the
Switch UI Focus to Ringing Line
parameter when using the BLF/Xfer feature.
For more information about this parameter, see
