[asterisk-users] BLF and Snom phones

[Christian Stredicke]

This just adds a new drop down called "BLF" in the function key area. This is a mix of the already existing "Extension" (which displays dialog-state information) and "Speed Dial". The LED is controlled by the dialog state like in the Extension mode, while the key is controlled by the Speed Dial nature. 

In other words, no matter what the LED is doing, pushing that button will always dial the speed dial number. If you set it to something like "*7123", then this button will always pick up the call for 123.

Hi,

Could you explain for the benefit of the list what you have changed in the snom image that will benefit this ticket? I am already receiving your current beta images, through our distributor, up-to about 2008-13-19, and am not aware of any changes that affect BLF behaviour or short-dials...

NOTE to list: User beware - The last few versions of beta firmware I tested break re-invites. Of course this may be fixed by now.

Regards,
Steve
