Configuring BLF Page Switch
Use the following procedures to configure the BLF page switch feature on the IP phone.
Configurable Display Modes for BLF and BLF/List Softkey Labels
The manner in which labels for BLF and BLF/List softkeys are displayed on the applicable IP phones (as well as the M685i
Expansion Modules) can be configured by Administrators. By defining the “blf display label to max” parameter to either
“0” or “1” in the configuration files, Administrators can choose between two distinct display modes.
In the primary (default) display mode (i.e. “blf display label to max: 0”), when a label exceeds the maximum characters
the respective phone’s screen can display, the phone adds an ellipsis (i.e. “...”) at the end of the label indicating the label has
been automatically truncated. In the secondary display mode (i.e. “blf display label to max: 1”), the phone does not auto-
matically truncate the label and simply displays as many characters as the area reserved for the label allows.
Configuring BLF and BLF/List Softkey Label Display Modes
Use the following procedure to configure the display mode for BLF and BLF/List softkey labels:
Configurable Display for Blank BLF/List Softkeys
When softkeys for the 6867i and 6869i model phones and the M685i Expansion Modules are configured as BLF/List keys
on the phone but there are not enough members in the BLF/List on the BroadSoft server side, then a series of question
marks (i.e. “? ???”) are displayed on screen beside some of the softkeys.
Administrators can configure the phone to replace the series of question marks with a series of different symbols by defin-
ing the “keys noname symbol” parameter with a desired character. For example, if keys noname symbol: “e” is defined
in the configuration files, the phone will display “? eee” instead of “? ???”.
Alternatively, Administrators can simply choose to hide the series of question marks (or configured symbol) using the
“keys noname hidden” parameter. If this parameter is set to “1” (enabled) then the series of question marks (or configured
symbol) will be hidden and nothing will be shown on the screen beside the affected softkeys. If this parameter is set to “0”
(disabled) then the series of question marks (or configured symbol) will be displayed on the screen indicating blank
BLF/List softkeys.
