Page 595Ringing Options
In Release 4.0 and prior systems, when a sender has both Individual
and Group Coverage and an Individual Coverage receiver is available,
the programmed systemwide Delay Ring Interval of one to six rings
provides a delay, in addition to the systemwide Coverage Delay Interval,
before calls go to Group Coverage.
■ No Ring. Prevents the telephone from ringing at all. However, the
distinctive returning transfer and callback rings, described later in this
section under “Distinctive Ringing” on page 596
, do sound.
■ Send Ring. An additional Ring Timing option, used at the principal
extension to override Delay Ring programming for any Shared SA buttons.
If a call arrives at the principal extension’s SA button and that extension is
busy on another call, the call rings immediately at the SSA buttons
programmed for Delay Ring.
Ring Timing options can be programmed
individually
for each personal line, prime
line, Pool, SA (including Shared SA) or ICOM, and Cover button on an extension.
The extension also can be programmed so that all
outside
calls on personal line,
prime line, and Pool buttons ring uniformly with one of these timing options. (SA,
ICOM, and Cover buttons must always be programmed individually.)
Regardless of the Ring Timing option selected, the green LED next to the line
button with a call flashes immediately when a call arrives.
NOTES:
1. Ring Timing options cannot be programmed for SA Originate Only or
ICOM Originate Only buttons because they do not ordinarily receive
calls.
2. For more information about coverage ring delays, see “Coverage” on
page 152.
Abbreviated Ring Options 40
The Abbreviated Ring setting specifies how a telephone rings if a call arrives
when a user is already on another call. Each extension can be programmed to
ring in one of the following ways:
■ Abbreviated Ring (factory setting). When the user is already on a call, a
new call arriving on a line button programmed for Immediate Ring or Delay
Ring rings only once. The ring is at a lower volume (called
attenuated ring
)
than the normal ring.
■ Repeated Ring. The telephone rings normally. When the user is already
on a call, an incoming call continues to ring until it is answered.
