Automatically Provisioning Cisco 504g BLF problem

[LiscardGP]

Hi

I can successfully automatically provision a Cisco 504g phone. The phone has the firmware recommended by 3CX, and I am running 3CX version 10 with latest service packs.

My problem is that 3CX fails to set BLF options on the phone. When I enter BLF options in the first three fields of 3CX, and then re-provision the phone, the new entries only appear in Lines 3 and 4 on the phone. The first two lines on the phone are not used, and the third BLF option set in 3CX is ignored.

I have successfully manually set up the BLF options using the phones web interface, but this is overwritten when the phone is automatically re-provisioned. Also, I am planning on using more of these phones so I would like to be able to set BLF option automatically using 3CX functionality.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi

Take a look at the Cisco Template below. It basically says in the documentation that the first few blfs must contain specific Functions. This nearly drove me crazy provisioning my snoms. I just did the basic provison and then stopped the provisioning upon reboot. I then just set up the phone (as I only have 4 extesnions) in each phone web interface and saved this to disk for later use if I need it. Hope this helps.


<!--### BLF Settings ###-->

<!--# The "Unit_1_Key_1" field contains a string value which specifies the type of functionality to assign to the first key on the SPA-932 Sidecar unit, and which extension number to monitor. The provisioning template sets the value to "fnc=sd+blf+cp;sub=blf1@%%pbx_ip%%;nme=100" - unless BLF is not being used for the key, in which case the value will be blank.-->
<!--# The string value contains 2 sections, separated by a ";" character.-->
<!--# The first section must contain "fnc=sd+blf+cp" - which basically means SpeedDial + BLF + CallPickup.-->
<!--# The second section must contain the extension identity for whose notifications the phone will subscribe, in the format "sub=blf1@%%pbx_ip%%" - where the variables "blf1" and "pbx_ip" will be replaced by the extension number chosen from the 3CX Management Console, and the IP Address of the 3CXPS machine.-->
<!--# The second key is identified by the "Unit_1_Key_2" field, and will contain "sub=blf2@%%pbx_ip%%" (note reference to the "blf2" variable); the third key is identified by the "Unit_1_Key_3" field and will contain "sub=blf3@%%pbx_ip%%" (note reference to the "blf3" variable); and so on.-->
