Distinctive Ringing
This feature allows you to have calls ringing with a different
ringing signal routed to different extensions than calls ringing
with the normal ringing signal. The facility of having a second
number on Line 1, which rings with a different signal, must be
provided by BT (BT Call Sign™). The recommended use for
this facility is to have a separate number for Fax calls and route
these calls to an extension equipped with a fax machine.
There are two elements to programme distinctive ringing. The
first turns distinctive ringing on for Line 1 and the second
determines which extensions are to ring when the second
cadence is detected.
To turn distinctive ringing on: -
Press the Scroll Down Key () until ‘System programming’ is
displayed.

To select the extensions to ring when the second number

displayed.
