I think its same as DND (do not disturb ) . It can be activated by *78 and deactivated by *79 . I use freepbx for configuration so i am not sure if its there in default asterisk setup . I snipped some part of my configuration from freepbx's config files

Hi Brian,<br><br>many thanks to you for your answers in the past! The always gave me the<br>little bit of mising information...<br>My Asterisk box is running fine now so I want to try the "next step"...<br><br>And now to all of you ....
<br><br>What I want to implement is to use 1 button of my snom-360 phone for<br>following purpose:<br><br>If I leave my desk I press this button. A light should show up as an<br>indicator/reminder. From this moment all calls to my extension should
<br>immediately be transferred to my voicemail box.<br><br>When I return I press the button again, the light goes off and all calls<br>to my extension should ring my phone again.<br><br>Now, can I achieve this with a static dialplan in
extensions.conf or do<br>I have to use all that Realtime + DB magic?<br><br>Many thanks,<br>Norbert<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>--Bandwidth and Colocation provided by <a href="http://Easynews.com">
