Setup A DSS / BLF - Speed Dial Key

The Yealink T4x series has a number of buttons that can be programmed to do a large number of actions. The most common ones are to setup a Busy Lamp Field (BLF) or speed dial.

A BLF should be used if you are setting it up for an internal extension. A BLF key functions as both a speed dial and a status indicator. You can press the key to call that extension or transfer a call to them, but the colors will also change depending on their status so you can know if they are on the phone or not before calling them.

A speed dial should be used for setting up a button to call to an outside number. This can be to a cell phone or any other third party phone where the status of the caller can't be monitored.

1. Press and hold the button you want to setup until the configuration menu displays.
   
   
   
   
2. Configure the following options

   Type:	BLF
   Account ID:	Line 1
   Label:	Label
   Value:	Extension you want to assign
   Extension:	Leave blank. See below for advanced options.

   

Rather than leaving the Extension blank, you can use a special star code to enable call intercept. Call intercept allows you to use the same BLF key to retrieve a call that is ringing on that person's phone. The star code is different depending on if your company uses 3-digit extensions or 4-digit extensions. Enter the correct star code in the "extension" field above.
