I have a palo alto 220 on OS 10.1 and recently put in yealink phones that access the phone servers through our ISP. Everything works except for a function called
Busy Lamp Field (BLF)
BLF is an acronym for Busy Lamp Field, which is a light on an IP Phone or a colored indicator next to a name in a softphone or web client, that tells you whether another extension connected to the same PBX is busy or not. Many popular IP phone manufacturers, such as Yealink, Fanvil and Snom, sell a variety of phones that have BLF function keys.
The ISP believe there is something on the PA that is blocking this function and I need to find what and how to allow it access.

If you are not seeing anything blocked I would verify with the ISP what IPs and ports are used for BLF to ensure those connections would be allowed.

Well since its their servers and their phone system I believe so already worked with the ISP directly, the took the firewall out of the mix and it started working but I have no idea where else to look

Did you ever find a resolution to this issue? I am having the same issue with Polycom phones on a Broadcom PBX
