<p class="MsoNormal">In testing Asterisk 11, I’ve found that Asterisk doesn’t seem to be sending BLF updates to SIP peers that have subscribed to a hint looking at a Custom device if that Custom device state is RINGING or RING_INUSE. All other states seem
to be working correctly.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">But despite the above, the BLF fields on my phones (Cisco SPA 509G for all 3 extensions) only update for Idle or InUse – they do not show the Ringing or InUse&Ringing statuses. I have verified the SPA phones BLFs do still show the correct
Ringing and InUse&Ringing statuses if they subscribe directly to a SIP device’s state with the hint – the issue only seems to be effecting Custom devices. Can anyone think of anything else I should check?<o:p></o:p></p>
