[cisco-voip] 7914 Line vs. Speed Dial ?

[Chris Ward (chrward)]

It sounds like they were setup as BLF (Busy Lamp Field) speed dial
buttons before and not just regular speed dials.

This was supported from 4.2 and later I believe. Check it out on
Cisco.com and see if this is what they/you are looking for.

I think I know the answer to this, but need to confirm with others.

Moved some admin assistants from an older phone system and set them up
with 7962s with 7914 ext. modules.

I set the ext. modules up as all speed dials.  They claim that on the
old phones / phone system the buttons on those ext. modules acted as
both a line and speed dial?  They could see the state of the line on
the button but could also press the button to call the person.

I don't think (but haven't tried, not onsite today) if you configure a
button on the 7914 as a line to see the state of the line you cant
press the button to call that user as well.  That would be acting as a
speed dial right?

And speed dial buttons don't show the state of the line right?

They want one line to do both like the old phones and I am not sure I
can do that.

I will try playing tomorrow when I am back over there but thought I
would ask in the mean time.

thanks,
dane
