asterisk users - Mar 2006 - Do Not Disturb?

I looked on the voip-info wiki and found sparse and conflicting information
on how to do this with Asterisk...

My incoming lines are all on Zaptel. Is there a simple why to implement a
'*363" (do not disturb) toggle via the dialplan?

It would be nice to be able to pick up an extension, dial *363, and have all
calls sent to voicemail without ringing the extensions. Doing it again would
disable the feature.

I have an extension for activating/de-activating voicemail call backs.

You should be able to do the same for DND:


[callback-activate]

exten => 80*,1,Set(CALLBACK=${DB(vmcallback/${CALLERIDNUM})})
exten => 80*,2,GotoIf($["${CALLBACK}" =
"YES"]?80*,3:80*,101)
exten => 80*,3,Set(DB(vmcallback/${CALLERIDNUM})=NO)
exten => 80*,4,Playback(local/stutter)
exten => 80*,5,Playback(local/deactivated)
exten => 80*,6,Hangup()
exten => 80*,101,Set(DB(vmcallback/${CALLERIDNUM})=YES)
exten => 80*,102,Playback(local/stutter)
exten => 80*,103,Playback(local/activated)
exten => 80*,104,Hangup()

You can do the same thing with DND.  Turn the value on or off, then in 
your dial string, check the database value and act accordingly.

Hi Doug.
Do you know how to, when leaving office, set all incoming calls to transfer do
my coworker?
