Thinking with the old TDM PBX mindset as I often do, is there a way within Jabber or as a separate app to show the status of other lines? Simply a green meaning idle, red indicating in use. I tried copying an existing Phone Button Template, but I'm not sure if a BLF 'Speed Dial' would provide the desired result. And, when I it, the template is not available as a choice in the Jabber device. I used this method:
| Step 1 | From Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose Device > Device Settings > Phone Button Template. |
| Step 2 | Click the Add New button. The Phone Button Template Configuration window appears. |
| Step 3 | In the Button Template Name field, enter a name for the template. |
| Step 4 | From the Phone Button Template drop-down list, select a template of phone button. |
| Step 5 | Click Copy to create a new button template based on the layout of the selected button template. |
| Step 6 | Click Save. |
And - in the Jabber device there's only a few templates available. Working with mine, it's Standard Client Services Framework. I see the 'Jabber Test Template' I created, but when I did that by copying another, the only item that's present is Line, and I can't add anything else. Maybe the template must be designated that it's specifically for Jabber? I have a customer that would like to have just Jabber, but only if other lines could be monitored as they are now on the 8841 phone.
There's likely a lot more to this even if I could add a BLF, I see that that the watcher must be authorized to monitor the related destination of a SIP URI. But, since BLF always seems to include Speed Dial in descriptions and examples. I don't even know if this is what I should look into. The goal is to just see the status of a few other DNs. These may or may not be on Jabber devices, but only phones. That may prohibit the desired results as well.
