[asterisk-users] Adding DND to dialplan

[Brian McEntire]

Don't think that was it unless I still have a typo. Here's my line
from extensions.conf:

exten => _#78,n,Set(DB(DND/${CALLERID(num)})=1)

in the CLI issued 'reload' after saving the updated extensions.conf
and then picked up the phone and dialed #78. Still getting this error:

[Apr  4 08:56:20] WARNING[6866]: func_db.c:94 function_db_write: DB
requires an argument, DB(<family>/<key>)=value


Should DB support be built in by default?

Is there a DB schema I need to consult to make sure I have the right
family key pair?

I'm using a Zaptel driver so maybe the CALLERID(num) var is not set or
is confusing the Set line. I think the zap comes up Zap/2.
