Upon clicking an extension on the Device Management page you will go to the Device Details page. This page displays Device Information. Device information is shown in the top half. The bottom half of the page contains information for the Device Line, BLFs (busy lamp field,) and Contacts for that device. For any changes to be applied, the 
button must be pressed and the phone rebooted. If the phone is active, clicking will reboot the phone.
