Ok I am trying to set up BLF on a Linksys spa942 and have followed all the instructions I have been able to find on the net but the light never turns red when the line is in use, it just stays green.

the relative sip.conf

`[office-phone](!)
type=friend
context=mycontext
host=dynamic
nat=no
secret=Iamlazy#$%^#$%^#$%^
dtmfmode=auto
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
busylevel=1
allowsubscribe=yes
limitonpeers=yes
notifyringing=yes
notifyhold=yes
`

Extensions.conf

[code][mycontext]  
; Make sure to include inbound prior to outbound because the \_NXXNXXXXXX handler will match the incoming call and create a loop

;For BLF  
exten =\> 100,hint,(${xxxxxxxxx})  
exten =\> 101,hint,(${nnnnnnnnn})

include =\> voipms-inbound  
include =\> voipms-outbound  
include =\> LocalSets  
include =\> parkedcalls[/code]  
that is all that I added or changed from what I could read  
show core hints shows

`100@mycontext : State:Idle Watchers 0
101@mycontext : State:Idle Watchers 1`  
but the state idle never changes even when I am on a call. I also have a problem with gotoif $DIALSTATUS=BUSY which might be conected because it never gets a busy back not sure.

Found out the problem I did two things to get it to work not sure which on but I removed the () from the hint line. Also added callcounter=yes to the general section of sip.conf
