Having looked estensively for details about using BLF and Snom, i haven’t been able to get it to work. I’m trying to monitor the status of ext.114 from ext.117. I have added the following to my sip.conf: [114] username=114 type=friend secret=114 record\_out=On-Demand record\_in=On-Demand qualify=no port=5060 nat=never mailbox=114@default host=dynamic dtmfmode=rfc2833 context=from-internal subscribecontext=from-internal notifyringing=yes canreinvite=no callerid=“Amy” \<114\> [117] username=117 type=friend secret=117 record\_out=On-Demand record\_in=On-Demand qualify=no port=5060 nat=never mailbox=117@default host=dynamic dtmfmode=rfc2833 context=from-internal subscribecontext=from-internal notifyringing=yes canreinvite=no callerid=“Jeff” \<117\> And added to extensions.conf: exten =\> 117,hint,SIP/110 exten =\> 117,hint,SIP/112 exten =\> 117,hint,SIP/114 exten =\> 117,hint,SIP/115 exten =\> 117,hint,SIP/117 exten =\> 117,1,Macro(exten-vm,117@default,117) exten =\> ${VM\_PREFIX}117,1,Macro(vm,117) exten =\> 114,1,Macro(exten-vm,114@default,114) exten =\> ${VM\_PREFIX}114,1,Macro(vm,114) On my Snom 320 i have the function key defined as follows: Context Type Number [117@192.168.5.20](mailto:117@192.168.5.20) Extension 114 Something is missing, since my Snom light just stays light up. Thanks for all help… ---

What application version do you have on the Snom 320? When you hit SAVE on the Function Keys page on the Snom it should convert 114 to sip:114@192.168.5.20 otherwise you should enter it manually. If you type ‘show hints’ at the CLI prompt does it show your hints as being registered? Does it show any phones being subscribed to that hint? ---

Here is the version for my phone: snom320-SIP 6.2 When I put 114 into the number field it does not convert it. i tried it manually that way, but with the same results. I will look into CLI “show hints” and will post the results. ---

I think your hint in extensions.conf should read as exten =\> 114,hint,SIP/114 exten =\> 117,hint,SIP/117 Also, make sure you have ``` Support broken Registrar: Off ``` set on your phone under the Line/Sip settings Here is a line from ‘show hints’ on my system: 407 : SIP/407 State:Idle Watchers 4 If the hints was set up properly and no one is subscribed to that hint then Watchers would be 0. ---

My problem must be with the “subscribecontext” then, since when i “show hints” everyone has a 0 for watchers. Is there anything special that needs to be added for the “subscribecontext”? Up above you can see what i have for each extension and below is the context for “from-internal”: [from-internal] exten =\> 150,1,Goto(from-XXXXXX,s,1) ;allow phones to use applications include =\> app-directory include =\> app-dnd include =\> app-callforward include =\> app-callwaiting include =\> app-messagecenter include =\> app-calltrace include =\> parkedcalls include =\> from-internal-custom ;allow phones to dial other extensions include =\> ext-fax include =\> ext-local include =\> ext-group include =\> ext-queues include =\> ext-zapbarge include =\> ext-meetme include =\> ext-record include =\> ext-test ;allow phones to access trunks include =\> outbound-allroutes exten =\> s,1,Macro(hangupcall) exten =\> h,1,Macro(hangupcall) I’m at a loss here… ---

This is two of my extensions registering their hints: exten =\> 201,hint,SIP/201 exten =\> 203,hint,SIP/203 If I have a third phone, say ext. 205, then I would setup the Function Keys on that Snom to read: 205@myserverip Extension sip:201@myserverip 205@myserverip Extension sip:203@myserverip where myserverip is either the IP address of my server or a qualified name. Depending on the version of the Snom software the 205@myserverip might also be ‘Active’ and Extension might be ‘Destination’.
