Prolog information
This section describes the Busy Lamp Field (BLF) operation used for the IP Office SoftConsole application in a Small Community Network. There are several, separate mechanisms for delivering user state information updates. There is one mechanism for the IP Office-to-IP Office information flow and three mechanisms for the IP Office-to-User information flow. While each of these mechanisms share information with each other, they are completely separate and have no direct impact on each other.
  • IP Office systems in a Small Community Network exchange user state information with each other.
  • IP Office hard phones exchange user state information with the IP Office to which they are registered using the phone signalling messages embedded in the H.225 stream.
  • IP Office SoftConsole receives user state information from the IP Office where the current application user is logged on, using messages sent out over the data network. The type of message sent depends on one of the following:
    • Whether IP Office SoftConsole is on the same local subnet as the IP Office it is logged on to.
    • Whether IP Office SoftConsole resides in a remote subnet similar to the remote users.
