Do Not Disturb (F01)
Description
This feature is available only on system phones.
This feature lets a system phone user press a programmed button to prevent
incoming calls for the extension from audibly alerting (lights still flash). When Do
Not Disturb is on, outside callers hear ringing while inside callers hear a busy
signal. This feature is recommended only if someone answers outside calls for
your extension when you do not answer them.
Related Features
■ Caller ID information for incoming calls displays only when a call is audibly
alerting at an extension. This means that extensions with Do Not Disturb
activated do not receive Caller ID information, unless the call is answered.
■ Users with Automatic VMS Cover (#310) Assigned or with VMS Cover
turned on can activate Do Not Disturb to Send All Calls immediately to
their voice mailbox.
■ Users with Call Coverage turned on can activate Do Not Disturb to Send All
Calls immediately to the covering extension.
Considerations
■ This feature requires a button with lights. When the Do Not Disturb feature
is on, the light is also on, indicating that the phone will not ring.
■ Use this feature when you do not want the auto attendant or the voice
messaging system to transfer calls to you.
■ Use this feature if you are assigned to a Hunt Group and you leave your
desk, so calls to the Hunt Group will skip your extension and ring
immediately at the next available extension in the group.
■ To avoid missing calls when this feature is not needed, turn it off.
■ If Do Not Disturb is active at a doorphone alert extension, the person at the
doorphone hears signaling, but the alert extension is not signaled.
■ Unanswered calls that are transferred from an extension with Do Not
Disturb active will ring at that extension if they transfer return.
