Hi Everyone,
Is it possible to configure blf keys to perform a 1 button blind tranfers when you have an active call? If this is possible, how can you do it?

Hello Allan,
welcome to the Polycom Community.
I am not fully sure I completely understand the question.
The BLF functionality shows the activity of the monitored line and by pressing the Key a call can either be picked up from an alerting state or you can press the key to dial the extension.
There is no functionality to press the key and automatically blind transfer or any other automated action without losing the monitoring function.
Please ensure to provide some feedback if this reply has helped you so other users can profit from your experience.

I think he means when on an active call the user wants to be able to just hit a BLF to blind tranfer that call to the user. Very useful for a receptionist expicically with an expansion module. She/he could just hit the BLF, and off goes the call. Currently you have to hit tranfer, blind, and then the BLF. Making an automated BLF/tranfer in one would be great.
Hello all,
I have to correct above statement as I never had the need to utilize this and just verified some parameters in the Admin Guide.
If you utilize attendant.resourceList.X.type="automata" where X matches attendant.resourceList.X.address="" the Admin Guide describes as follows:
Above works as a one press and the Called Party is automatically forwarded via a SIP REFER to the monitored BLF extension.
If the Attendant would want to speak to the person before doing so a manual transfer would have to be used instead.
Please contact your Polycom reseller for any follow up questions.

----------------Hi Steffen,
Thanks for the help. I tried it and it didn't work. Please see my code below:
<attendant attendant.reg="1" attendant.resourceList.1.address="%BWLINEPORT-1%" attendant.ringType="ringer1" attendant.uri="%BWBLF-URI-1%" attendant.resourceList.1.type="automata">
<attendant.behaviors>
<attendant.behaviors.display>
<attendant.behaviors.display.remoteCallerID attendant.behaviors.display.remoteCallerID.automata="1" attendant.behaviors.display.remoteCallerID.normal="1">
</attendant.behaviors.display.remoteCallerID>
<attendant.behaviors.display.spontaneousCallAppearances attendant.behaviors.display.spontaneousCallAppearances.automata="1" attendant.behaviors.display.spontaneousCallAppearances.normal="%BLF_BEHAVIOR%">
</attendant.behaviors.display.spontaneousCallAppearances>
</attendant.behaviors.display>
</attendant.behaviors>
</attendant>
Any idea on what is wrong?
Thanks,
Allan
