Account Configuration (DND and Call Forwarding)

The 6731i has a feature that allows you to configure "Do Not Disturb" (DND) and "call forwarding" (CFWD) for multiple
accounts on the phone. You can set specific modes for the way you want the phone to handle DND and CFWD. The three
modes you can set on the phone for these features are:
• Account
• Phone
• Custom
The following paragraphs describe account-based DND and CFWD:
• DND Account-Based Configuration
• Call Forward Account-Based Configuration
DND Account-Based Configuration
"Do Not Disturb" (DND) is a feature on the phone that prevents the phone from ringing and receiving incoming calls.
When DND is enabled with "call forwarding" (CFWD), any incoming calls can be call forwarded to voicemail or another
number. See ""Call Forward Account-Based
other numbers.
On the 6731i, you can set DND on the phone-side for a specific account or for all accounts on the phone. You can set three
modes for DND using the Aastra Web UI at the path, Basic Settings->Preferences->General->DND Key Mode: Account,
Phone (default) and Custom
,
You can then configure a DND key for the phone using the Aastra Web UI at the path, Operation->Programmable Keys.
You can enable and disable DND by toggling the key, or by setting DND for a specific account at the path,
Basic Settings->Account Configuration. Once you enable DND, "DND" displays on the LCD for the applicable account.
Note:
If there is only one account configured on the phone, then the mode setting is ignored and the phone behaves as if the
mode was set to "Phone".
The following describes the key behavior for each DND mode.
• Account - DND key toggles the account in focus on the IP Phone UI, to ON or OFF if DND enabled for that account.
• Phone - (default) DND key toggles all accounts on the phone to ON or OFF.
• Custom - DND key displays custom screens on the IP Phone UI. User can select whether to enable/disable DND per
account, enable DND on all accounts, or disable DND on all accounts.
The following table describes the key and Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) LEDs when you enable DND on the IP Phone.
