Direct Inward Station Dialing

DISD allows for an external caller to reach an extension directly, with no assistance from the attendant. When the caller reaches your system, a continuous DISD tone is played and the caller can then enter the extension number. If the call is answered by another station, the caller can request transfer. If the called station is in use, the call is camped-on at the busy station. If the station is part of a hunt group and is busy, the call will route to another station in the group if available.
