Hello! I am trying to set up an SPA514 phone (and others), but I am having problems
trying to set up the unused line keys as BLF/Speed Dial keys... I am trying to
do the provisioning, but I also have the same problems with the web interface
on the phone.
The phone is at the 7.6.1 firmware version (the latest, as of today).
I have been using the Cisco Small Business SPA300 Series, SPA500 Series, and WIP310 IP Phone Administration Guide,
located at:
and in the material under
Assigning Busy Lamp Field, Call Pickup, or Speed Dial Functions to Unused Lines
I see these instructions:
Step 1
Click Admin Login > advanced > Voice > Phone.
Step 2 In the Line Key to configure (line 4 in this example):
a. From the Extension drop down list, choose Disabled.
b. Enter the following string in the Extended Function field:
fnc=blf+cp;sub=Stephanie@$PROXY;ext=300@$PROXY
fnc=type;sub=stationname@$PROXY;ext=extension#@$PROXY
– ext or usr: extension or user (the usr and ext keywords are interchangeable)
Step 3 Click Submit All Changes. After the phone reboots, the phone in this example displays the following color LEDs for the monitored lines:
These instructions don't work!
Firstly, if I make (eg) extension 2 (I am using only 1 line) Disabled, then it will not show any label for that button, nor will anything happen if I press that button!
So, I set it to "1", as any other number will not work. After the phone reboots, I then get the label on the LCD for that button, but.... when I press it, it asks for me to "Enter a number:" The same results apply to the speed-dial entry.... what do I have to do to get these buttons to dial the associated extension when I press them?
