1.8 Setting the Telephone According to Your Needs

• The FWD/DND button light shows the current status as follows: Off: Both features are not set.

Red on: FWD mode

Flashing red slowly: DND mode

The system has two modes: (1) FWD/DND Cycle Switch Mode and (2) FWD/DND Setting Mode. Ask your manager what mode your system is in if you are not sure.

(1)When in FWD/DND Cycle Switch Mode:

Pressing the FWD/DND button (fixed button) while in idle status will cycle the setting as shown below:

FWD DND Off

(2)When in FWD/DND Setting Mode:

Pressing the FWD/DND button (fixed button) while in idle status allows you to switch the FWD/DND status and set the FWD destination (refer to "Switching FWD/DND Status Using Fixed FWD/DND Button").

Note

A FWD/DND button (customised button) is always in FWD/DND Cycle Switch Mode: the mode cannot be changed.

If your extension has set this feature, a calling extension will hear DND tone.

If this feature is set, the Call Forwarding (FWD) feature does not work.

Specified extensions can override this feature and call DND extensions (DND Override).

When using a SIP Extension, you cannot set/cancel the DND feature at your extension. However, this feature is available if set through system programming.

When making a call using an SDN button to a PDN extension with DND set, this feature will temporarily be deactivated.

When intercom calls are set to be handled differently from outside calls (DND set/cancel), we recommend establishing buttons for both FWD/DND—Outside calls and FWD/DND— Intercom calls, because:

a)the light patterns of the FWD/DND—Both calls button (including FWD/DND button [fixed button]) will indicate the setting for either outside calls or intercoms calls, but not both.

Note

The DND icon on PS display reflects the setting for outside calls only.

b)pressing the FWD/DND—Both calls button (including FWD/DND button [fixed button]) will not change the FWD or DND mode for intercom calls and outside calls separately.

Switching FWD/DND Status Using Fixed FWD/DND Button

Using a proprietary telephone (PT), you can easily switch the FWD/DND status for outside/ intercom calls without clearing any FWD destination that was set previously.
