Another option would be to use Custom: device state like Russell suggest, but instead of a softkey remap the Do Not Disturb button to a speed dial that is configured to be an Enhanced Feature Key macro that includes toggling of DND as well as dialing the extension that changes the Custom: device state. Off the cuff, assuming the number to dial for the device state mojo is 1234, it would probably be something like: $FDoNotDisturb$1234$Tinvite$ Regards, - Brad -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
