# Enable/Disable Busy Lamp Field Feature

The Busy Lamp Field feature is enabled by default.

To enable/disable the Busy Lamp Field feature:

1. Choose Options from the Tools menu.

2. Click Busy Lamp Field.

3. Do one of the following:

   - To enable the BLF feature, check the box beside Enable Busy Lamp Field feature.

   - To disable the BLF feature, clear the box beside Enable Busy Lamp Field feature.

4. For a new installation or upgrade, proceed to set up the shared and private BLF files folders.

Note: At least one of the BLF list folders (private or shared) must be set up for the BLF feature to be enabled.

To set up the shared and private BLF folders:

1. Choose Options from the Tools menu.

2. Click Busy Lamp Field.

3. Enter the directory path for the private BLF files folder by clicking Browse and navigating to the folder:

   C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Mitel\MiVoice Business Console\BLF_Private

   Note: The BLF list folders can be stored on either a local or a network drive. The Private list folder is typically stored on a local drive, and the Shared list folder on a network drive.

4. Enter the directory path for the shared BLF files folder by clicking Browse and navigating to the folder, for example, C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Mitel\MiVoice Business Console\BLF_Shared

   This path must be different than the path entered for the Private folder.

   Note: In steps 3 and 4, enter the paths to the folders only, not to a specific file.

5. Click OK.

6. Restart the console.

After you restart the console, you can create private and/or shared BLF lists within the list folders using the Edit BLF List tool. See Busy Lamp Field Lists.
