What to Do Next
If you are done modifying parameters for SCCP phones in Cisco Unified CME, generate a new
configuration profile by using the create cnf-files command and then restart the phones with the restart
command. See “SCCP: Generating Configuration Files for SCCP Phones” section on page 245 and
“SCCP: Using the restart Command” on page 258.
Enabling a SIP 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 a SIP phone, 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.
• SIP phones must be configured with a directory number under voice register pool configuration
mode (use dn keyword in number command); direct line numbers are not supported.
Restrictions
BLF Call-List
• Supported only on Cisco Unified IP Phone 7941G, 7941GE, 7961G, 7961GE, 7970G, and 7971GE.
BLF Speed-Dial
• Supported only on Cisco Unified IP Phone 7941G, 7941GE, 7961G, 7961GE, 7970G, and 7971GE.
Step 6
presence call-list
Example:
Router(config-ephone)# presence call-list
Enables BLF monitoring of directory numbers that appear
in call lists and directories on this phone.
• For a directory number to be monitored, it must have
the allow watch command enabled.
• To enable BLF monitoring for call lists on all phones in
this Cisco Unified CME system, use this command in
presence mode. See the “Enabling Presence for Internal
Lines” section on page 888.
