The BLF light is controlled by a daemon that runs on the PBX. To see if daemon is running, run the command below from your Linux CLI:

1. You need to start the demon that watches for hints the first time, as this could not be started when there was no license. This script will be auto-started any time amportal or fwconsole start is run, which includes on boot up.

   1. PBX Version 13 or Newer

      1. fwconsole restart restapps

         [root@mypbx]# fwconsole restart restapps
         Restapps daemon stopped
         Running Restapps Hooks
         Starting Restapps daemon
         Restapps daemon done
         [root@mypbx]#

       

   2. PBX Versiopn 12 or Older

      1. /etc/init.d/restapps restart

         [root@mybox ~]# /etc/init.d/restapps restart

         Starting REST applications daemon:                         [  OK  ]

• Log into your PBX Admin GUI and navigate to the to Sysadmin module.

  • In the top menu go to Admin

  • In the drop-down menu go to System Admin

• Select the Port Management section in the navigation menu.
  

  

   

• Look to see what port Restful Phone Apps are using.
  

  

   

• Open a Web Browser and go to the following URL: http://IPADDR:PORT/applications.php/donotdisturb/main?user=EXT#

  • Replace IPADDR with the IP Address of the PBX.

  • Replace PORT with the port number Restful Phone Apps are using as defined in Sysadmin Port Management.

  • Replace EXT# with your extension number.
     

• This should bring up some XML such as:

  • {"application_name":"donotdisturb","application_display":"DND","page_name":"main","type":"display","exitPath":null,"layout":[{"type":"bool","name":"status","display":"Enabled","value":false}],"action":[],"error":[]}
     

• If you get nothing returned, this means your port is either not opened on your firewall or not defined correctly.  Try and resubmit the Port Management page in Sysadmin by pressing the Submit  and Apply Config buttons.
