Use the command in the Reason Code field.
Example
Presence State Label: Ready for Calls
Reason Code: *60
Presence Status: 1 (Online)
Presence State Label: Do Not Disturb
Reason Code: *61
Presence Status: 4 (DND)
Note - *60 is an example and is different per PBX. You have to contact the PBX vendor to get the correct dial commands.

In case Call Wrap Up time in seconds is configured, the status in Skype for Business is changed instantly after the call to Do Not Disturb. This ensures that the user will get no inbound call. Once the defined number of seconds is over, the presence state goes automatically back to Ready for Calls.
Call Wrap Up time is not activated for
•phone calls with duration of 0 seconds (ring only)
•internal calls
If you dial with the CTI Data Connector SoftPhone the status is always set to Ready for Calls in case it is on Do Not Disturb.
Skype for Business needs special codes, which have to be configured as Reason Codes. There is a pre-configured Call Center Adapter for Skype for Business.
