Display Status Yealink T5 Series

[ican-mh]

We would like to request a feature for the Yealink T5 series devices: the ability to display status changes via BLF (Busy Lamp Field), similar to what is already possible in the web client/soft client.


Ideally, this could be implemented either through a change in the BLF key color or by dynamically updating the label/text of the BLF key to reflect the current status. For example, if extension 10 sets their status to "Away", then on all phones monitoring BLF 10, either the key color changes or the label updates from the user name to the current status.

Hello ican-mh,

How mutch as I understand your question, I am sure this will not happen.
The BLF (Busy Lamp Field), is a SIP message, that is supported on SIP by good standards and implemented by 3CX and by Yealink following this SIP protocol.
This has nothing to do with the 'User Status' of a 3CX account, and XML LEDs on the Yealink phones.
The change of LED-color on Yealink can be done by XML, but only to authenticated servers, this is normally not setup.

Meaning this will need a lot of work, that does not follow default telephone standards (Yealink specific), and will need work on the Yealink and 3CX side to pull this off... not going to happen, ever.

This does not mean it can not work or will never work, it actually does work perfect.
We only needed 2 people 2 full weeks to program this in a 'customer-special', but it can be done, where a local server will SIP to the Cloud 3CX and XML with the IP Phones locally. However the customer stopt this setup at the beginning of this year, as it was not needed anymore, but has worked fine for about 2 years.

If you have the time & money to invest, than you can get it build, and maintain in the future as things may/do change.

Hey. thank you for your message.
An implementation of this with Yealink and 3CX is therefore very unlikely, as the focus for presence indication on BLF keys is now primarily placed on the 3CX app and web client, rather than on physical desk phones?
