[asterisk-users] Use a BLF for monitoring

[Lee, John (Sydney)]

In your dialplan, you should put in...sth like
exten => 1001,hint,Custom:virtext1001

In your script, you should put in...sth like
Set(DEVSTATE(Custom:virtext001=INUSE);
Set(DEVSTATE(Custom:virtext001=NOTINUSE);

In the phone directory.xml, define an entry with ct=1001 and turn bw on.
Reboot phone of course.
