The BLF lights on the Snom 360s work for me (Asterisk 1.4, Snom 6.5.12 
firmware), but I reboot them nightly.

I have noticed that the Snom BLFs can stop working if the network is 
busy for a long period of time (i.e., longer than the re-registration 
period), like during system-wide backups and yum-upgrades. To avoid this 
problem, I have a cron job reboot the Snoms nightly after scheduled 
backups/upgrades. I'm not sure if this is a network congestion issue or 
a server CPU overload issue, or something else. Anyway, this arrangement 
does seem to be pretty reliable.

To reboot a Snom:

Hope this helps.
