Accept Calls

Do Not Disturb

When the NexPath TelephonyServer is first started, your extension will automatically be placed in the
Accept Calls mode, which means that your phone will ring when someone calls you.
Youcan place your extension in the Do Not Disturb mode, though, during which calls made to your exten-
sion will go directly to your voice mail or directly to the number you specifyas a forwarding number with-
out first ringing at your extension1. Youmay want to place your extension in the Do Not Disturb mode when
you are in a meeting and do not want your phoneto ring or when you are out to lunch and do not want some-
oneelsetopickupyourphone.
If your extension is part of a call distribution group and you place yourphone in the Do Not Disturb mode,
then calls to the distribution group (Sales, for example) will not ring at your phone, but instead will go on to
the next extension in the group. Calls placed by dialing your extension number directly,however, will be
routed as described above.
Toput your extension in the Do Not Disturb mode:
1. Pick up any phone or otherwise getan inside line dial tone.
2. Enter the Do Not Disturb sequence .
3. Enter your extension number.
4. If prompted, enter your password2, or a password with administrator privileges.
5. If your password was accepted, you will be notifiedthat your extension has been placed in the Do Not
Disturb mode.
6. Hang up.
1. If your extension h as not been configured to support voice mail and you have not set up cal l-forwarding for your exten-
sion, your phone will ring even if you place it in th e Do Not Disturb mode.
2. You will not be asked for a password if you have already entered it once to enable some other command and you have not
hung up since then.
