Description
Ringing Options refers collectively to three options that determine how users’
telephones ring when they receive a call: Ring Timing Options, Abbreviated
Ring Options, and Personalized Ringing Options. These options are
programmed for each extension through extension programming or centralized
telephone programming, using the display or programming codes. In addition,
the system uses distinctive ringing patterns to identify various call types to the
telephone user.
Ring Timing Options
Ring Timing Options control how soon the telephone rings, or whether it rings at
all, when a call arrives. Line buttons on each extension can be programmed so
that calls ring as follows:
■ Immediate Ring is the factory setting. The telephone rings as soon as a
call arrives.
■ Delay Ring provides a delay before the telephone rings. The length of
the delay depends on the type of button and the Coverage arrangement:
— For outside line, SA (including Shared SA), and ICOM buttons
programmed for Delay Ring, the delay is fixed at 2 rings and
cannot be changed.
— For Cover buttons programmed for Delay Ring, the Delay Ring
Interval, set through system programming, provides a delay of
1 to 6 rings. (The factory setting is 2 rings.)
— When a sender has both Individual and Group Coverage and an
Individual Coverage receiver is available, the programmed Delay
Ring Interval of 1 to 6 rings provides a delay (in addition to the
Coverage Delay Interval) before calls go to Group Coverage.
■ No Ring prevents the telephone from ringing at all. (However, the
distinctive returning Transfer and Callback rings, described later in this
section under “Distinctive Ringing,” do ring.)
Ring Timing Options can be programmed individually for each Personal Line,
Prime Line, Pool, SA (including Shared SA) or ICOM, and Cover button on an
extension. The extension can also be programmed so that all outside calls on
