BLF on linksys / cisco phones and side cars

Posted by George on Fri, 08/13/2010

Anyone see a problem with the blf codes not being correct, ie

green - not in use
blinking red - incoming call
red - on the phone

we are seeing mixed up lighting, the boot the phone all red, call one of the ext. and it goes green when you hang up, flashing red when on a call, there doesn't seem to be a pattern to the mixed lighting.

anyone see anything like this before..?

has it always been like this or is it recent? If recent was there some change like version of asterisk or firmware that matches a change in the behavior? I've never seen it but I only have 1 customer using a couple linksys 942s.

not this just started, a little background.. upgraded to a new server, Old server Asterisk 1.4### MTE ..78 to server 1.6.0.12 MTE ..81

had a bunch of little problem from what we can tell do to both the different version in Asterisk and TL. Everything is working with the exception of the blf on phone with and with out sidecars..

it would "seem" that the VoIP server is sending mixed signals to the phones..

why wouldnt you just run a version that is bug-free as opposed to having to apply a rudementary fix to older code?
