Automatic Line
Selection
The system does not automatically select outside line, SA, ICOM, or
Cover buttons programmed for No Ring, even when Ringing/Idle Line
Preference is turned on. The user must select the button manually to
answer a call. The green LED flashes when the call arrives; when the
user presses the button, the red LED turns on.
Caller ID The Delay Ring option can be used as an alternative to the LS-ID Delay
option at automatically answering adjuncts so that Caller ID information is
received. LS-ID Delay delays ringing at all extensions in the system, while
Delay Ring delays ringing only at the extension programmed for it. Delay
Ring timing starts when LS-ID Delay ends.
Coverage Primary Cover, Secondary Cover, and Group Cover buttons can be
programmed for Immediate Ring, Delay Ring, or No Ring.
Calls received on line buttons programmed for No Ring are not sent to
coverage.
If an Individual or Group Coverage receiver is on a call when a coverage
call is received, the receiver hears an abbreviated ring (if enabled).
Calls received on a Primary Cover, Secondary Cover, or Group Cover
button use the receiver’s, not the sender’s, personalized ringing pattern.
In addition to its primary function, the Delay Ring Interval in Release 4.0
and prior systems provides a delay before calls go to Group Coverage, in
addition to the Coverage Delay Interval, when the sender also has
Individual Coverage and a receiver is available.
In Release 4.1 and later systems, the ringing at a programmed Primary or
Secondary Cover button, set for Delay Ring, is augmented by the Primary
and Secondary Ring Delays set for the sender’s extension. The
systemwide Secondary Ring Delay Interval, fixed at two rings, also
augments ringing on Secondary Cover buttons set for Delay Ring. For
more information, see “Coverage” on page 152
.
Digital Data Calls Personalized ringing has no effect on calls to a digital communications
device.
Terminal adapters follow programmed ringing options and should be set
to Immediate Ring.
Videoconferencing systems are not affected by ringing options.
Fax Extension The Fax Extension feature overrides the distinctive ringing pattern for
calls transferred to a fax extension. When a fax extension receives a
transferred call, the fax extension provides one long ring (similar to an
inside call) instead of three short rings.
