Goals

The current BLF and Extension mapping implementations for D8xx IP phone series are similar, but with a few differences and partly erroneous behaviour. Therefore, it is desired to align both implementations by using XML definitions instead. Furthermore, the requirements should be re-defined to communicate a clear result.
- Avoid confusion for customers
- Improve user experience
- Improve performance

Background and strategic fit

BLF is a valuable feature for Snom customers, like enterprises who are looking to assist in connecting their customers to a live, available person as well as save business phone use time. Overall, it enables businesses to streamline their communication and better serve customers. BLF aka Extension monitoring has been utilized in numerous ways by businesses using Snom phone systems with multiple extensions.

Use cases

Use case#1: A secretary's phone shall display the call status of the boss's line, allowing the secretary to know whether the boss is on a phone call or not. This will enable the secretary to make the decision to put the new caller on hold or let them through to the boss.
Use case#2: Call centers and customer support groups have also a need for BLF: it enables employees to see if their colleagues are free to take a support call or if their supervisor is on another line and unable to help another customer.
Use case#3: BLF is needed by teams working on a specific project: supervisors can monitor team members' extensions and vice versa so all team members are aware of each other's current status.

Preconditions

On Snom IP phones acting as UAS, any SIP extension having an active subscription of its state changes, shall sent a notification SIP message (NOTIFY) to the UAC, when one of the following state changes occur:

...

The NOTIFY XML body must contain the necessary information for the UAC to perform state translation and visualization.

D8XX:PFK-mapping:BLF-XML:General-Functionality

On D8xx IP phones, any PFK (programmable function key - physical or virtual) can be assigned to a key type called "BLF-XML", and a key number, which corresponds to a SIP extension on another IP phone in the same VoIP environment. The following specific functionality is required:

Monitoring states of the configured SIP extension
Quick-dial to the configured SIP extension in idle state
Pick-up an incoming call to the configured SIP extension

Software Requirement Specification (SRS)

Based on user interactions, the UAS sends SIP NOTIFY messages to the UAC. By means of XML definitions, the information in the SIP NOTIFY XML body are translated into variables, that are known to the UAC phone application and can be processed to show the desired results.

Result

dialog state => terminated

NOTIFY

translate state => idle

quick dial allowed
pick-up not allowed

Questions

Below is a list of questions to be addressed as a result of this requirements document:

Question	Outcome
Shall we visualize all possible translation states?	Alexander Feldt I'd agree, for these reasons: Snom phones (acting as UAS) already provide all information in NOTIFY body It's cleaner, e.g. when the UAS goes offhook or calls somebody, currently "talking" is visualized, which is not true. It could be an advanced sales feature?
Shall we allow quick dial only in idle state?	Alexander Feldt Technically, we could allow quick dial in any state, except ringing... Zsolt Erdei Quick dial → Dial the configured extension happens only in Idle state; in Calling state does the button nothing to do, in connected state, when the party is different, the blf might blind transfer the call
Shall we create new icons or reuse those already existing ones?	Alexander Feldt I really question icons, that are so small, that there is no visible difference to the user, like Image Added and Image Added, therefore - if we use them at all - I vote for better distinguishable icons. Zsolt Erdei If possible reuse
How can a specific LED behaviour be addressed using XML definitions?	Alexander Feldt Currently not within XML definitions, it has to be configured via settings. Zsolt Erdei Using a new statename; that new name is added in xml definition to "state" variable and the string is configured in the led settings.
How can a specific label be addressed using XML definitions?	Alexander Feldt see label, but I haven't figured out how to define it correctly Zsolt Erdei with the label variable Initialisation: `<variable` `name="label"` `value="Clock on"/>` During XML evaluation: `<assign` `when="on press">` `<source` `value="Hello"/>` `<destination` `id="label"/>` `</assign>`
How can a specific icon be addressed using XML definitions?	Alexander Feldt see icon, but I haven't figured out how to define it correctly Zsolt Erdei As I remember, same as label, value name is icon.
How shall the Label area be configured to use either number or display name?	Alexander Feldt The topic is even more complex: I assume the PFK label is generally too short to show longer extension number or names, i.e. some kind of scrolling must be used. But is this really helpful for the customer at all? Zsolt Erdei It is shorted by an ellipse in QT; I think it is enough if we display the label value and the state.
From the UX point of view: which visual aid is more important for the customer: LED or PFK label?	Alexander Feldt The colour of the LED and if it is blinking => very important The label icon => basically not important, the LED is already showing everything, also the PFK label is not even shown by default The label name => important when it comes to call pickup, less important for other scenarios, so is it worth adding scrolling or should we keep it simpler? The label state => It is definitely an additional information, which cannot be shown with LED only, e.g. the difference between offhook, calling and talking Zsolt Erdei I say led + status on pfkey label
Tita Petre Is the above list of requirements enough input to create a proper testplan?
Clemens Cramer As the decision to move the default blf & extension configuration to a xml definition is based on customer requests to modify the behavior, guides with working examples on how to change the labels, icons, led behavior, and handled dialog states should probably be a requirement (and as such covered by tests)
