336 CHAPTER 5: SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Timers System timers enable you to set time-out periods for the NBX system
features that are described in Table 52
. To set timers, select System
Configuration > System Settings > Timers. See the Help for the procedure
on setting timers.
Ringing Patterns You can set system-wide ringing patterns to distinguish between internal
and external calls. You can choose one, two, or three rings to distinguish
between internal and external calls.
Do not confuse ringing patterns with ringer tones, which NBX system
users can set for their telephones using the NBX NetSet utility. For
information on setting a user’s ringing tones, see the NBX Telephone
Guide or the User Help.
To set ringing patterns, select System Configuration > System Settings >
Ringing Patterns. See the Help for instructions.
Table 52 System Timers Fields
Field Purpose
Forward Voice Mail On
Timeout
When a telephone’s FWD VMAIL button is enabled, this
field specifies the duration of ringing before a call is
forwarded to voice mail.
If you set this time to under 6 seconds, caller
ID information is not captured in voicemail.
Forward Voice Mail Off
Timeout
When a telephone’s FWD VMAIL button is disabled, this
field specifies the duration of ringing before a call is
forwarded to voice mail.
Line Port Hold Timeout For a call originating on an outside line (Analog Line Card
port), the length of time that the call remains on hold
before it rings at the extension that placed the call on hold.
Call Park Timeout The length of time that a call can be parked before it rings
at the extension that parked the call.
Conference Timeout The length of time before a conference attempt is
abandoned. Applies to a blind conference only. The
timeout takes effect under these conditions:
■ Two people, A and B, are involved in a call and one of
them attempts to blind conference another person, C.
■ C does not answer and C’s voice mail does not pick up
the call.
After the Conference Timeout period, the system stops
ringing C’s telephone, stops attempting to conference
with C, and reverts to the call between A and B.
Transfer Timeout The length of time that a transferred call attempts the
transfer before it rings back to the caller’s extension.
