ipbx supports extension presence/status indication on wide variety of SIP devices. This feature is quite often referred to as busy lamp field (BLF). Not all phones do support BLF, some only do partially or using a non-SIP firmware load (e.g. Cisco 79XX series phones).

SIP General Settings

In order for BLF to work correctly you will need to make sure the following settings in your general SIP configuration are enabled. Go to System → SIP Channels → General Settings or using the Manual Editor and enable:

 allowsubscribe = yes
 notifyringing = yes
 limitonpeers = yes

SIP Channel Settings

Go to System → SIP Channels → General Settings and make sure each phone you want to monitor has a call-limit set. For each phone that is supposed to monitor other extensions/phones, make sure the Subscribe Context is set to subs.

Dialplan Hints

For ipbx to know about the monitored extensions you will need to add each extension as a hint to the dialplan. If you simply would like to monitor all your user extensions, simply turn on automatic hint management. This will automatically create a [subs] context in the dialplan and create hints for each monitored extension.

 [subs]
 exten => 4002,hint,SIP/4002
 exten => 4012,hint,SIP/4012
 exten => 5007,hint,SIP/5007
 exten => 5011,hint,SIP/5011
 exten => 5012,hint,SIP/5012
 exten => 5015,hint,SIP/5015
 ...

Monitoring Parked Calls

Add the following to your inside context in the Manual Editor:

 [inside]
 ...
 include => parkedcalls
 exten => 701,1,ParkedCall(701)
 exten => 702,1,ParkedCall(702)
 exten => 703,1,ParkedCall(703)
 exten => 704,1,ParkedCall(704)
 ...

Add the following line(s) to the subscriptions context in the Manual Editor:

 [subs]
 ...
 exten => 701,hint,park:701@parkedcalls 
 exten => 702,hint,park:702@parkedcalls 
 exten => 703,hint,park:703@parkedcalls 
 exten => 704,hint,park:704@parkedcalls
