Abbreviated Ringing (#305)
Description
This telephone option turns Abbreviated Ringing on or off at a specified
extension. When a user is on a call and Abbreviated Ringing is on, an incoming
call rings only once. The green light next to the line button flashes until the call
is answered or the caller hangs up. Turning this option On prevents incoming
calls from distracting users when they are busy on another call. To allow calls to
ring repeatedly, set Abbreviated Ringing to Off.
Considerations
■
Abbreviated Ringing works for both outside calls and intercom calls.
■
You may want to turn Abbreviated Ringing Off for receptionists and others
who handle many calls quickly, so they have an audible reminder of
incoming calls.
■
This option applies only to system phones.
Valid Entries
1 = On (incoming calls ring once)
