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

[Go0se]

In CM version 6.x+ there is a "BLF (busy lamp field) /Speed Dial button"
option - you'll need to set up a phone button template with it and presence
needs to be configured. 

Also, I haven't configured it but I believe there is an option available in
a later version of 6 that will allow you, if you put the lines in the same
call pickup group, to also answer a BLF/Speed Dial line when it is ringing
simply by pressing that BLF/Speed Dial button on your phone/side car.

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
