Busy Lamp Field (BLF) feature on Asterisk 14 with Zoiper

Asterisk 14: Build: Ubuntu/Debian

Below are the steps to building asterisk 14.6.0 on a Debian/Ubuntu 
The current build was done on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS.  
This is a vanilla install of Asterisk 14, with no Web Interface or extra features.

Let's start by running these commands: 

apt-get install build-essential

apt-get install git-core subversion libjansson-dev sqlite autoconf automake libtool libxml2-dev libncurses5-dev

 

Now you are able to download asterisk 14 and compile it.

 

cd /usr/src/
wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-14-current.tar.gz
tar xzvf asterisk-14-current.tar.gz
cd asterisk-14.6.0/
./contrib/scripts/install_prereq install
./bootstrap.sh
./configure
make && make install
make samples
make config
systemctl start asterisk

 

Now asterisk should already be running and you can log in with this command:

 

asterisk -r

 

 

In this example below the BLF feature it's configured for 3 SIP Zoiper phones (extensions).

First in the sip.conf file we have these records:

callerid="Mitko Palauzov" <444>
subscribecontext=localextensions

outofcall_message_context=dpma_message_context
allowsubscribe=yes
callcounter=yes
notifyringing=yes
notifyhold=yes
callevents=yes
limitonpeer=yes
subscribecontext=BLF

 

 

Second in the extensions.conf we have these records:

[BLF]
exten => _X.,hint,SIP/${EXTEN}

[users]
exten =>  _X.,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN})
exten =>  _X.,n,Hangup

 

 

 

If all is configured and work correctly the signalling flow should be like this:
