[asterisk-users] visual indication of temp. closed mode
I may have to do something like that to be able to setup some way to temporarily close our office. I haven't really found anything else that would have a visual indicator that the system is on temp. closed mode. I can manually set a database entry (which I already do), and I know I can add an extension to set this, but neither of those visually alerts our receptionist. Right now, we still have a Cisco SCCP phone on the system. She hits the DND button, which the SCCP driver updates the database of this, and that's what I check. I know this has come up several times, but so far, I haven't really seen any really good solutions. My receptionist system will more than likely be a Polycom IP601. I'm thinking of creating an extension that would be used only for this purpose. Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks!

We are using an extension with no indicator.
I like the DND idea if the phone supports an indicator for it.
