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.
You cannot use Call Screening (F25) with this feature turned on.
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.
