[asterisk-users] Re: visual indication of temp. closed mode

[Steven]

We are using an extension with no indicator.
I like the DND idea if the phone supports an indicator for it.

  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.  

  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.

  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.  

  Any thoughts or ideas?

  Thanks!

  did you do
  include => app-set-mwi
  in the context where the phone is?
  I guess not, so the phone wont know about *35
