Considerations and Constraints
Transfer Returns ring repeatedly until answered, regardless of the Abbreviated
Ring setting for the telephone.
When one of the eight Personalized Ringing patterns is selected either through
extension programming or through centralized telephone programming, the
person programming the option hears the ring selected. In a Release 1.1 or
Release 2.0 (or later) system, an MLX display telephone user must select
Enter from the display to confirm and store the selection. The user again
hears the ring selected after selecting Enter.
The Personalized Ringing pattern selected for each extension is not shown on
system programming reports.
Delay Ring is especially useful on a Cover button, because it gives the sender
a chance to answer before the call rings at the receiver’s telephone.
No Ring is appropriate for users who do not usually answer outside calls. To
answer a call when a telephone is programmed not to ring, the user simply
presses the line button with the flashing green LED.
While using the programming codes or display selections to program Ring
Timing Options for one line, the user must press a line to which these options
apply — any line button with an outside line or any SA or ICOM button. If any
other type of button is pressed, the user hears an error tone; the display
telephone user also sees an error message. While programming Ring Timing
Options for all outside lines, the user can press any line button, not just an
outside line button.
