Personalized Ringing Options 40
Personalized Ringing options allow a user to select one of eight different ringing
patterns for his or her telephone, making it easier to distinguish its ring from those
of other telephones. The user hears the personalized ringing pattern as the long
part of the distinctive ring that identifies an inside, outside, returning transfer, or
callback call, described in the next section. Pattern #1 is the factory setting.
Distinctive Ringing 40
Distinctive ringing allows users to identify the type or origin of an incoming call.
The system identifies calls with the distinctive ringing patterns listed in Table 41
.
These patterns cannot be changed.
Table 41. Distinctive Ringing
* Includes Direct-Line Consoles.
NOTE:
The long ring is the personalized ringing pattern selected for the telephone.
Considerations and Constraints 41
Transfer returns ring repeatedly until answered, regardless of the Abbreviated
Ring setting for the telephone.
When one of the eight personalized ringing patterns is selected, through either
extension programming or centralized telephone programming, the person
programming the option hears the ring selected. In Release 2.0 and later systems,
an MLX display telephone user
must
select (QWHU from the display to confirm and
store the selection. After choosing
(QWHU, the user again hears the selected ring.
The personalized ringing pattern selected for each extension is not shown on
system programming reports.
