Call Forward. The three modes you can set on the phone for these features are:
•

DND CONFIGURATION
DND is a feature on the phone that prevents the phone from ringing and receiving incoming
calls. When DND is enabled with Call Forward, any incoming calls can be forwarded to your
voicemail or another number. See
“Call Forward Configuration”
on
page 205
for more
information about call forwarding to other numbers.
On the 6873i, you can set DND on the phone-side for a specific account or for all accounts on
the phone. You can set three modes for DND using the Mitel Web UI at the path,
Basic Settings
> Preferences > General > DND Key Mode: Account
,
Phone
(default), and
Custom
. DND
performs according to the mode you set.
You can then configure a DND key (for the phone or for an expansion module) using the Mitel
Web UI at the path,
Operation > Softkeys and XML
or
Operation > Expansion Module <N>
.
You can toggle DND on and off by pressing the key, or by setting DND for a specific account
at the path,
Basic Settings > Account Configuration
. Once you enable DND, the
icon
displays on screen for the applicable account.
Note:
If there is only one account configured on the phone, then the mode setting is
ignored and the phone behaves as if the mode was set to Phone.
