Chapter 19 Do Not Disturb

Introducing the Do Not Disturb Feature

When DND is enabled, all new incoming calls with normal priority will honor the DND settings for the device. High-priority calls, such as Cisco Emergency Responder (CER) calls or calls with Multi-Level Precedence & Preemption (MLPP), will ring on the device. Also, when you enable DND, the Auto Answer feature gets disabled.

Table 19-1provides a checklist to configure the Do Not Disturb feature. For more information on the Do Not Disturb feature, see the “Introducing the Do Not Disturb Feature” section on page 19-2and the “Related Topics” section on page 19-17.

Introducing the Do Not Disturb Feature

When DND is enabled, all new incoming calls with normal priority will honor the DND settings for the device. High-priority calls, such as Cisco Emergency Responder (CER) calls or calls with Multi-Level Precedence & Preemption (MLPP), will ring on the device. Also, when you enable DND, the Auto Answer feature gets disabled.

The user can enable and disable DND by any of the following methods:

Softkey

Feature Line Key

Cisco Unified CM User Options windows

You can also enable and disable DND on a per-phone basis in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.

When you enable DND, the Cisco Unified IP Phone displays the message Do Not Disturb is active. when DND is active, the DND line button icon also turns into an empty circle, and the light turns amber.

Incoming Call Alert Settings

DND incoming call alert settings determine how the incoming call alert gets presented to the user when DND Ringer Off or DND Call Reject is enabled. The following list gives the available options:

None—This option specifies that the DND Incoming Call Alert setting from the Common Phone Profile window will get used for this device.

Disable—This option disables both beep and flash notification of a call but for the DND Ringer Off option, incoming call information still gets displayed. For the DND Call Reject option, no call alerts display and no information gets sent to the device.
