Distinctive Ring (#308)
Description
This System Programming procedure determines whether calls should ring at a
standard device using the system’s distinctive ringing patterns—different patterns
for outside, intercom, and transferred calls—or whether all calls to the standard
device should ring like outside calls.
Considerations
â– Change the setting to Not Active if a standard device such as a modem or
answering machine does not pick up intercom or transferred calls.
â– If distinctive ring is set to Not Active for an extension where both a system
phone and a standard device are installed, the system phone continues to
use the system’s distinctive ringing patterns, but all calls ring at the
standard device using a single ring burst.
â– The system does not pass distinctive ringing patterns generated by a PBX
or central office through to extensions (regardless of the setting for this
feature).
Valid Entries
1 = Active (outside, intercom, and transferred calls ring differently, using the
system’s distinctive ringing patterns)
✔
2 = Not Active (outside, intercom, and transferred calls all ring using a single ring
burst)
