Questions about Do Not Disturb
Why would an extension user want to use
Do Not Disturb?
Do Not Disturb prevents most calls from ringing the
extension. Only recalls, overrides, and special trunks dialing
in directly to the extension will ring it. If extension users
want protection from tone intrusion (for instance, during a
data call) they should use Call Privacy instead.
What kind of tones does another extension user or
attendant get when calling an extension that has
Do Not Disturb set?
They hear slow busy signal. Anyone who is permitted to
override the other extension may then do so.
