  2. Deactivate the phone. Select Save.
  3. Remove the license. Select Save.
  4. Deactivate the user.
  5. Delete User. Select Save.
  6. Add the user and the user's information (First, Last name, email address, username). Select Save.

  8. Add phone information such as DID, Ext#, then click Save.
  9. Add the phone device, model.
  10. Select Activate using MAC ID.
  11. Reboot phone. After the phone has fully rebooted, check the status on the BLF phone to see if the refreshed user icon is online.
  12. Place a test call to the affected extension and try to pick up the call from the BLF assigned pickup phone.
