</div>One solution that I had come up with for this situation was to use a softkey and use custom device state to have the LED on or off based on whether DND was on or off. I documented it here:<br>

-<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>This is interesting but though a LED is perfect binary status such as DND, in fact, I'm more after a status line also showing Screening or Forwarding destination (for instance, "Fwd => 12345", "Fwd => Cellphone" ...).<br>
<br>Polycom phones have a custom Status window with which you can pick Forwarding settings but, to my knowledge, it can't used to let Asterisk manage those settings (I would be very happy to be proven wrong).<br></div>
