Running the latest * CVS and Cisco 7960G and 7940G phones with SIP 6.3 image. I have figured out how to turn on the DND feature through the Settings>Call Preferences>Do Not Disturb - Yes then Save. This puts the phone into DND On and shows a DND image above the far right soft key which you use to turn off DND. There should be a better way. An on/off toggle of the soft key that it creates (to disable DND) would be nice. Has anyone found out a way to do this? Thanks, Tom

It's easy to turn it off, but it's annoying having to go through the options to turn it off (running 6.2 here). This would be up to Cisco to do - I wonder if they have it on the cards.> Thanks, > > Tom-Shaun

[Asterisk-Users] Cutting calling costs with Wi-Fi phones
May be of interest to some: Motorola phones that seamlessly switch(?) between cell network and voip network. http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/ptech/05/10/wi.fi.phones.ap/index.html Anyone know any more about it? Can it be used with Asterisk? _______________________________________________ Matt Riddell SineApps Limited: www.sineapps.com SureCall Limited: www.surecall.co.nz ENUM (e164.org): 8829900001100 FWD: 277906 Phone (US): +315 295 2495 x 818 Phone (NZ): +03 4555770 x 1 _______________________________________________

Has anyone found out a way to do this?There are lots of ways to do this; here's one. - program one of the extn buttons to dial a special extn number - program that special extn number to set a database variable - in the dialplan entry for the phone's real extn number, include a step to check the database variable. If set, send the call directly to VM otherwise proceed with ringing the phone. Note: the logic of the special extn number could be configured to toggle the database entry on/off depending on its currect status. Obviously, one can't control icons on the 7960, so the user won't have any visual indication as to whether its on/off. If you search the archives and wiki, you'll also find some routines that do call forwarding. Use those as a basis for the above, or, use that to forward calls to VM. Rich
