Description 40
Ringing Options
refers collectively to three options that determine how users’
telephones ring when they receive calls: Ring Timing options, Abbreviated Ring
options, and Personalized Ringing options. These options are programmed for
each extension through either extension programming or centralized telephone
programming, using the display or programming codes. In addition, the system
uses distinctive ringing patterns to identify various call types to the telephone user.
Ring Timing Options 40
Ring Timing options control how soon a telephone rings, or whether it rings at all
when a call arrives. Line buttons on each extension can be programmed so that
calls ring as follows:
â– Immediate Ring (factory setting). Rings as soon as a call arrives.
â– Delay Ring. Provides a delay before the telephone rings. The length of the
delay depends on the type of button and the coverage arrangement:
— On outside line, SA (including Shared SA), and ICOM buttons
programmed for Delay Ring, the delay is fixed at two rings and cannot
be changed.
— On Cover buttons programmed for Delay Ring in Release 4.0 and prior
systems, the systemwide Delay Ring Interval, set through system
programming, provides a delay of one to six rings with a factory setting
of 2.
In Release 4.1 and later systems, system managers customize
coverage delays on an extension-by-extension basis. The Coverage
Delay Interval and Delay Ring Interval systemwide settings are replaced
by these extension timers: Primary Cover Ring Delay and Secondary
Cover Ring Delay (range 1–6 rings, factory setting 2 rings).
— In Release 4.1 and later systems, the Group Coverage Ring Delay
(range 1–9 rings, factory setting 3 rings) is set for each sender’s
extension. When a sender has both Individual and Group Coverage, the
Primary Cover Ring Delay controls the interaction between the two
types of coverage.
