[Asterisk-Users] Polycom MWI

[Chris Coulthurst]

I, myself would be happy if you could configure the DND button to send back 
to the server, shall we say, more configurable options.  Instead of just 
having it option to "indicate busy on DND active", it would be nice to 
enlist another state, maybe still allow calls through (DND override) if a 
specific alert-info indication were present.

I, myself, use Polycom 5xx-series phones throughout my home and office.  It 
would be nice to hit that 'leave-me-alone-key' so no callers get through, 
but I could still allow certain extensions or whitelisted Caller IDs get 
through.

I know this can be done in the asterisk dialplan, but it defeats the purpose 
of having that nearly useless, unreassignable DND button on the phone!

Take care, polycom config files become less scary the more you read through 
em!

Thanks guys. I will be using config files RealSoonNow but for the
moment I haven't gotten to it. I certainly will have to if I get more
phones though :) I wish this was at least a setting option on the
phone itself, better yet the DND button could silence it logically,
but noooooo.
