Distinctive Ring (#308) 4
Use this feature to determine whether calls should ring at a tip/ring device using the system’s
distinctive ringing patterns—different patterns for outside, intercom, and transferred calls—or
whether all calls to the tip/ring device should ring like outside calls.
Considerations 4
■ Change the setting to Not Active if a tip/ring device such as a modem or answering machine
does not pick up intercom or transferred calls.
■ If distinctive ring is set to Not Active for an extension with both a system telephone and a tip/
ring device, the system telephone continues to use the system’s distinctive ringing patterns,
but all calls ring at the tip/ring device using a single ring burst.
■ The system does not pass distinctive ringing patterns generated by a PBX or central office
through to extensions (regardless of the setting for this feature).
Programming 4
To change the Distinctive Ring setting:
1. Press
f00ss#308 at extension 10 or 11.
2. At the Extension: prompt, enter the number of the extension to be programmed.
3. Press
D until the appropriate value appears.
■ 1 = Active (outside, intercom, and transferred calls ring differently, using the system’s
distinctive ringing patterns; the factory setting)

■ 2 = Not Active (outside, intercom, and transferred calls all ring using a single ring burst)
4. To program another extension, press
n or p until the extension number appears
on the display. Repeat Step 3.
5. Select another procedure, or exit programming mode.
