FOOD FOR THOUGHT Help setting up a specific phone

[Nubleet]

Hello all. I have an existing PBX that I am replacing with an Asterisk flavour. The current system is a TOS3000 with IP2061 phone system. It has had a decent run, but it is nearing its death. Needs restarted constantly, drops calls, is overall pretty terrible. I have gotten the phone to work MOSTLY. There are just a few things that I would like to see working.

The phone has 4 line buttons, plus an extensions list on the right of the phone. What I would like is the lines (and extensions using the lines) to light up when in use. Is this possible? I have read about using call parking for calls and tying these buttons to the parking lot. I am just not sure of how to go about it. If anyone has any insight into these phones, please feel free to chime in

Looks like these may actually be rebranded TECOM phones. Anyone have any experience with TECOM?

Asterisk's chan_sip (older) driver has native support for BLF (busy lamp field) keys.
Do your phones support that?
If so, and your extensions are configured as chan_sip devices, BLF should work out of the box.

I dont think that these phones support BLF key functions. The web portal has "EDM Keys" which is the "extension" list on the right side of the image that I posted. It looks like I can tie functions to them, but they rely on the other PBX to tell the keys to light up. I am attempting to contact the "manufacturer" that these phones were purchased from to get some answers, but as I stated in my second post they appear to be a rebranded Tecom ip2061 and the TOS3000 appears to be a rebranded Tecom IG6000 series. I can see this if I look at the phones config dump and I can program the keys to do other things there, so Maybe I can send BLF functions that way? Do you have any suggestions on some reading for BLF keys?
