Enabling a SCCP Phone to Monitor BLF Status for Speed-Dials and Call Lists
A watcher can monitor the status of lines associated with internal and external directory numbers
(presentities) through the BLF speed-dial and BLF call-list presence features. To enable the BLF
notification features on an IP phone using SCCP, perform the following steps.
Prerequisites
• Presence must be enabled on the Cisco Unified CME router. See the “Enabling Presence for Internal
Lines” section on page 888.
• A directory number must be enabled as a presentity with the allow watch command to provide BLF
status notification. See the “Enabling a Directory Number to be Watched” section on page 889.
