Instruction manual

Direct Extension Dial Delay (#112)
Description
This System Programming procedure specifies the number of times (0–9) an
incoming call should ring before it is answered by the system.
Related Features
■ Direct Extension Dial affects incoming calls only on lines identified using
Direct Extension Dial Lines (#205).
■ A button must be programmed on the MLS-display phone at extension 10 to
turn Direct Extension Dial on and off. Use
Direct Extension Dial Button
(#113)
to program the button.
■ To record a message to prompt callers to dial an extension number or Hunt
Group number after the system answers an outside call, use
Direct
Extension Dial Record/Playback.
Considerations
This feature works independently of Line Ringing, which determines how an
outside call rings at the extension—immediately, after a 20 second delay, or not
at all. Direct Extension Dial Delay specifies the number of rings a caller hears
before the system answers the call.
