Delayed Ringing
Availability: All versions.
Delayed Ringing allows a trunk to start ringing a preset interval
after the call starts flashing a line key. This is helpful for co-
workers that cover each other’s calls. For example, a secretary
can have Delayed Ringing for the trunks that ring the boss’s tele-
phone. If the boss doesn’t answer after the Delayed Ringing interval, the call will start ringing the
secretary’s extension.
