I am new to asterisk and am looking to setup a small office with 4-6 IP phones and 4 analog lines from the local telco (primary line with HUNT to the other lines). I am considering purchase of a Digium AEX800.
One of the features that will be important (particularly for the receptionist desk is to show status of the other lines in use). I don't want the receptionist to pick up a line if it being used. Is there a list of phones that are BLF (Busy Lamp Field) compatible? I'm assuming (after reading tons of misc articles) that this is what I need in order for the receptionist not to pick up lines in use. If this is not the case please set me straight. I am considering the cisco 7960's, linksys SPA942, and possibly some polycom phones. I was leaning toward the 7960 but I've read that it is not BLF compatible. Are there any workarounds for this? I am new to the game and would be grateful for any recommendations on which phones would be the easiest to setup, etc. I currently have a working asterisk install at home with a single cisco 7960 registered which isn't hooked up to any trunks as of yet.
