Do Not Disturb (DND) typicaly is that you temporarily don’t want to be disturbed (for example, because you have a meeting). To turn DND on, dial *78.

To turn DND off, dial *79.

If you are a member of a hunt group, the call forwarding conditions for your extension will not apply when the hunt group is called. But if you turn DND on, even calls that go to the hunt group will leave your phone silent.

Most VoIP phones have a button that acts in a similar way. However this DND function might not be available or might not work as reliably as setting DND for your phone on the PBX.

DND can be overridden by a person that has the DND override permission. Typically this is a secretary who should be able to call the boss, even if he is on DND.
