Do Not Disturb (DND)
The IP phones have a feature your System Administrator can enable called Do Not Disturb (DND). The DND function allows
you to turn DND ON and OFF. If DND is enabled, callers calling into the phone hear a busy signal or a message, depending
on how your System Administrator set up the configuration server. The second line on the screen of the IP phone shows
when DND is set.
If the phone shares a line with other phones, only the phone that has DND configured is affected.
When DND is enabled with CFWD, any incoming calls can be call forwarded to voicemail or another number.
Your System Administrator can set DND for the phone and configure a DND key. Once DND is enabled, DND On displays on
the LCD.
