•
Beep Only—For an incoming call, this option causes the phone to play a beep tone only.
Flash Only—For an incoming call, this option causes the phone to display a flash alert.
You can configure DND Incoming Call Alert on a per-device basis and also configure it on the Common
Phone Profile window for group settings. If you do not set up the configuration at the device level, the
Common Phone Profile settings get used.
Overview of Do Not Disturb Architecture
This section provides an overview of DND architecture for both SIP and SCCP devices and includes the
following topics:
•
•
DND Status Notification for SIP Devices
Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports Do Not Disturb that a SIP device initiates or that a
Cisco Unified Communications Manager device initiates. A DND status change gets signaled from a SIP
device to Cisco Unified Communications Manager by using the SIP PUBLISH method (RFC3909). A
DND status change gets signaled from a Cisco Unified Communications Manager to a SIP device by
using a dndupdate Remote-cc REFER request. Cisco Unified Communications Manager can also publish
the Do Not Disturb status for a device, along with the busy and idle status for the device.
DND Status Notification for SCCP Devices
Cisco Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) supports Do Not Disturb requests that an SCCP device
initiates or that a Cisco Unified Communications Manager device initiates. A DND status change gets
signaled from an SCCP device to Cisco Unified Communications Manager by using SCCP messaging.
System Requirements for the Do Not Disturb Feature
The following sections provide software and hardware requirement for Do Not Disturb:

•
Software Requirements
To operate, the Do Not Disturb feature requires the following software components:

Interactions and Restrictions
Hardware Requirements
The following Cisco Unified IP Phones support the Do Not Disturb feature:
•
•
Cisco Unified IP Phones that run SCCP and SIP: 7906G, 7911G, 7931G, 7941G-GE, 7942G, 7945G,
7961G-GE, 7962G, 7965G, 7970G, 7971G-GE, 7975
Cisco Unified IP Phones that run SCCP: 7940, 7960
Note
Cisco Unified IP Phones 7940 and 7960 that are running SIP use their own backwards-compatible
implementation of Do Not Disturb, which you configure on the SIP Profile window.
Interactions and Restrictions
See the following sections for information on interactions and restrictions:

Interactions
The following sections describe how the Do Not Disturb feature interacts with Cisco Unified
Communications Manager applications and call processing:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Call Forward All
Park Reversion
On Cisco Unified IP Phones, the text message that indicates that the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature is
active takes priority over the text message that indicates that the user has new voicemail messages, which
allows the user to know when DND is active. However, the text message that indicates that the Call
Forward All feature is active has a higher priority than DND.
For locally parked calls, Park Reversion overrides DND (both options). If Phone A is on DND and
parked a call, the park reversion to Phone A will occur normally and will ring Phone A.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition
OL-18613-01

Chapter 19 Do Not Disturb
Interactions and Restrictions
For remotely parked calls, DND overrides Park Reversion:
•
If Phone A activates DND Ringer Off and shares a line with Phone A-prime, when Phone A-prime
parks the call, park reversion on Phone A will not ring and will honor the DND settings.
•
If Phone A activates DND Call Reject, the park reversion call will not be presented to Phone A.
Pickup
For a locally placed Pickup request, Pickup overrides DND (both options). If Phone A is on DND and
has initiated any type of Pickup, the Pickup call would be presented normally and it will ring Phone A.
For a remotely placed Pickup request, DND overrides Pickup.
•
If Phone A (with DND Ringer Off activated) shares a line with Phone A-prime, when Phone A-prime
initiates Pickup, the Pickup call to Phone A will not ring and will honor DND settings.
•
If Phone A is in DND Call Reject mode, the Pickup call will not be presented to Phone A.
Hold Reversion and Intercom
Hold reversion and intercom override DND (both options), and the call gets presented normally.
MLPP and CER
Callback
MLPP (phones that are running SCCP) and CER calls override DND (both options). MLPP and CER
calls get presented normally, and the phone will ring.
For the originating side, callback overrides DND. When the activating device is on DND mode (both
options), the callback notification (both audio and visual) will still be presented to the user.
For the terminating side, DND overrides callback:
•
When the terminating side is on DND Ringer Off, the Callback Available screen will be sent after
the terminating side goes off hook and on hook.
•
When the terminating side is on DND Call Reject and is available (goes off hook and on hook), a
new screen will be sent to the activating device as “<DirectoryNumber> has become available but
is on DND-R” if the activating device is in same cluster. Callback available notification will be sent
only after the terminating side disables DND Call Reject.
Pickup Notification
For the DND Ringer Off option, only visual notification gets presented to the device.
For the DND Call Reject option, no notification gets presented to the device.
Hunt List
If a device in a Hunt List has DND Ringer Off activated, the call will get still presented to the user when
a call gets made to that Hunt List. However, the DND Incoming Call Alert settings would still apply.
If a device in a Hunt List has DND Call Reject activated, any calls to that Hunt List will go to the next
member and will not get sent to this device.

Extension Mobility
For extension mobility, the device profile settings include DND incoming call alert and DND status.
When a user logs in and enables DND, the DND incoming call alert and DND status settings get saved,
and these settings get used when the user logs in again.
Note
When a user who is logged in to extension mobility modifies the DND incoming call alert or DND status
settings, this action does not affect the actual device settings.
Restrictions
Some restrictions apply to DND usage, depending on the phone or device type in use.

•
Tip
Before you configure the Do Not Disturb feature, review the “Configuration Checklist for the Do Not
Setting the Do Not Disturb Service Parameters
Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides one systemwide service parameter for Do Not
Disturb: BLF Status Depicts DND. This parameter determines whether DND status is considered in the
Busy Lamp Field (BLF) status calculation, and you can set the parameter to True or False.
•
When you specify True for BLF Status Depicts DND and DND is activated on the device, the BLF
status indicator for the device or line appearance reflects the DND state.
•
When you specify False for BLF Status Depicts DND and DND is activated on the device, the BLF
status indicator for the device or line appearance reflects the actual device state.
When BLF Status Depicts DND is enabled or disabled for the cluster, the cluster setting applies to all
phones on the server that support DND.
Note
To set this service parameter, navigate to System > Service Parameters and choose the Cisco
CallManager service for the server that you want to configure. Specify the desired state for BLF Status
Depicts DND in the Clusterwide Parameters (System - Presence) pane.
Configuring DND Softkeys
Default softkey templates do not make a DND softkey available. To add a DND softkey, navigate to
Device > Phone Settings > Softkey Template, add one to a softkey template in the Softkey Template
Configuration window, and associate the template to the device.
Be aware that a DND softkey is available in the following states:

Troubleshooting the Do Not Disturb Feature
The section provides troubleshooting information for both SIP and SCCP Cisco Unified IP Phones.
•
•
•
•
Basic DND Troubleshooting
If DND does not operate as expected, the main thing to do is find out whether the settings maintained by
the SCCP station code are the same as what the user thinks they are, as shown in the following examples.
Verify DND status by toggling DND
If you toggle DND status using a softkey or a line button, you can see the new status in the LmFeatureInd
message that is sent to line control. (The new status implies the old status was the opposite.) You can
then toggle back.
The LmFeatureInd SDL trace gives the following three fields:
•
•
•
feature: A value of 4 indicates DND.
featureState: A value of 0 indicates on; a value of 1 indicates off.
dndOption: A value of 0 indicates unknown; a value of 1 indicates ringer-off, and a value of 2
indicates call-reject.
Verify all DND settings by resetting the phone
If you reset the phone, all of the DND settings will be printed in the detailed SDI traces, for example:
StationD: (xxxxxxx) DND settings from TSP:
status=a, option=b, ringSetting=d
