Goals

  • Align BLF and Extension behavior for PFKs on Snom desk phones by using XML definitions instead 
    • 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. The current implementation appears to be kind of duplicated, but with a few little differences and erroneous behaviour.

Assumptions

  • 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.

1

D8XX_BLF-XML_FR-1

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:

  • from any state => terminated
  • from any state => trying
  • from any state => early/proceeding
  • from any state => confirmed

Must Have

Fully implemented

D8XX_BLF-XML_FR-2

On D8xx IP phones, any PFK (programmable function key - physical or virtual) can be assigned to a function, which allows monitoring state changes of the configured SIP extension (UAS) on another IP phone. This function shall be called "BLF-XML". The following states of the monitored SIP extension (UAS) shall be processed and translated depending on the call direction:

4D8XX_BLF-XML_FR-1-1

On D8xx series, during an active subscription, state changes of the monitored SIP extension shall be visualized on both, PFK LED and PFK label.
