<div>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.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any thoughts or ideas?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
