Switch it on with the "Settings-6-Yes-Save-Back" sequence, which is easy to remember once you've done it a few times. To switch it off, simply press the "DBD" soft-key that should have been present in the first place.
The beauty of this method is the fact that the phone will tell you when it's in DND mode. Other methods, involving AstDB etc., will not. I imagine that something could be done to change the dial tone, or something, when an AstDB-implemented DND mode is in use, but this would involve more work. The Cisco always displays a CFwdALL button, and tells you when forwarding is in effect, so perhaps something could be done with that - if being reminded that you're in "DND" mode is important to you. -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
