Default behaviour of the LED of BLF function keys
By default, function keys configured with type BLF to monitor another extension, Snom desk phones will react with a blinking or fixed red light if the extension is ringing or busy.
| State of monitored extension | LED behaviour |
|---|---|
| Idle | off |
| Incoming call | blinking red |
| Busy (in a call or DND) | steady red |
Setting parameters involved
To change this default behaviour and have the LED turn steady green when the monitored extension is idle, two setting parameters need the following adjustment: led_on and led_green
Both those parameters are defined by a long list of states the phone can possibly be in:
To both parameters you need to add the state "IDLE".
The position of the word IDLE does not matter.
Changing the value of led_on and led_green
Changing the list of values can be done via provisioning or uploading the configuration file, but also via the web interface as shown below:
D1xx/D3xx/D7xx/D81x: to do this via the web interface please follow the instructions in the page "How to change phone settings via right-click in the Settings page"
D86x and D89x: head to the Maintenance->Settings List menu on the left, search for the parameters led_on and led_green and click on them. A mask will open allowing you to modify the list.
