Targets are everything to which I can make, park, hold or edit a call. These can be classic telephones, of course, but also answering machines, call groups, parking positions and others.

One of the most important functions in telephony is the possibility of recurring operations by assigning an operation to a so-called function key.
NFON currently supports:
The two functions, BLF and Intercom, must be selected directly, all other functions must be configured by entering the correct control code.
Example: Setting up call forwarding in the service portalSetting up call forwarding:Call forwarding to the phone number: 0171 12345 via the function key: 1
"( do not forget "0" for outside line access when forwarding to an external number!) Another key can be assigned the code **11 to deactivate call forwarding. Press the function key to activate or deactivate the forwarding. |

Enter Snom Webinterface
After logging in, your telephone should look as follows under the menu item "Identity 1": |
To configure additional function keys, click on "Function keys" in Snom WUI and then in the area, Line keys.
| Line keys in this case mean all assignable function keys. |
The Line key button is self-explanatory and allows to create a new call/line from the phone. It also blinks on inbound calls. There used to be two line key buttons enforced by the provisioning template for all supported phones. Now it is no longer mandatory, you can have none or as many as you wish.
| Note: It is advised to have at least 2 BLF keys set as Line keys to make attendant transfers easy for the device user. |
The Busy Lamp Field (BLF) has three functions: when pressed it dials someone’s extension and can also be used to ease transfers, color and flashing status changes according to the supervised extension (idle, ringing or busy) thus providing call information, and when the extension is ringing you can pickup the call. To be able to pick up someone’s call see Managing Call Pick-Up Permissions for more information.
Speed dials are used to dial extension numbers only, no presence information will be displayed on the light indicator.
Custom Speed dials are used to dial any external number or dial code. When adding a Custom Speed Dial, the user must specify the number, and a First Name and Last Name that will be used in the label is displayed on screens. No light indicator will be used.
Profile Status BLFs allows to change the extension’s status to the one specified: Available, Away, Do Not Disturb, Lunch, or Business Trip. No light indicator will be used.
The Queue Status BLF allows to change the extension’s global queue Logged In status to the one specified, either Logged In or Logged Out. No light indicator will be used
The Shared Parking BLF allows to park a call to the shared park slot specified, or to unpark a call from this slot. Light indicator is used to represent call parked.
