Flexible Ringing Assignments
Ringing assignments are programmable on a per
station/per line basis. Ringing can be controlled for
every line that has an appearance at each station.
Delayed ringing is assigned to certain lines at each
station through station class of service programming.
Flexible Ringing Assignments Of PA Port
The PA port can be programmed for flexible ringing
assignments and zone pages. Any desired lines can
be programmed for direct ring, delay ring, or night
transfer (of ringing) at this port. Paging can be to
programmed zone or to all-call. A speaker can be
connected to the PA port to sound the ringing that is
generated by the system and sent to this port and
paging announcements when they are sent to the
programmed zone. Using such an arrangement, lt is
possible for a user to determine that certain lines are
ringing, such as in a night transfer (of ringing) mode,
and go to the nearest telephone and answer the call.
The most common use for this arrangement is as a
night bell eliminating the need for external equipment
as required with the common ringer and auxiliary.
ringer interface. The speaker cannot be used for voice
response as the path is one-way only. Use system
class of service programming to assign ringing and
paging to a PA port.
Night Transfer (Of Ringing)
Night transfer (of ringing) is an attendant-controlled
feature that transfers the day ringing program of all
incoming calls to a particular station or stations for
off-hour or special purpose answering. The night
transfer mode can only be activated from
station 10 or 12. The individual lines at each station
that are to be transferred with this feature are selected
by station class of service programming.
Night Transfer (Of Ringing) Button
With software release revision 8, a night transfer of
ringing, or night mode, button is available at attendant
stations. The night mode button gives attendants at
stations 10 and 12 the ability to place the system into
the night transfer of ringing mode of operation by
simply pressing one button instead of entering the
multiple keystroke sequence previously required. The
night mode button toggles the feature on and off with
one keystroke and the light located above the
Intercom button on attendant telephones flutters to
indicate when the night transfer or ringing is active.

located close to each other, each user chooses a
different personal ring tone. The system provides six
distinctive tones for users to choose from.

automatically subdue the ringing of the second call to
a lower volume.

Self Diagnostics
Each station can execute a self test when so enabled
by anyone who wishes to do so. This test verifies
processor, indicator, and tone functions.
Service Observing
Service observing allows a third party to enter an
in-progress call in an unannounced muted mode to
monitor the conversation. The system does not send
any warning tones when the call entry is made. This
feature is useful in allowing a supervisor to monitor the
performance of an employee during a phone
conversation with’s client. For a station to provide the
service observing feature, it must also have the
executive override feature enabled. When the
programmer enables the service observing feature,
the system automatically enables the executive
override feature as well. A programmer can enable or
block service observing (and executive override) at
each desired station using station class of service
programming procedures.
