In sipX, calls are parked on separate "orbits". Orbits have numbers which are part of the same number space as extensions. So in a small office, you might have extensions numbered 101, 102, etc., and orbits numbered 300, 301, 302, etc. You might set up a convention where each extension "owns" a particular orbit, but sipX does not enforce that. Once you've done that, you can program your phone's BLF to monitor orbits just like you would program it to monitor a phone. (Go into the user's "Speed Dial" page, enter the orbit number, and check "monitor presence".) For most phones, the display of a parked call is arranged to be flashing, like a ringing call would appear on a normal extension.
