Instruction manual

Distinctive Ring (#308)
Description
This System Programming procedure determines whether calls should ring at a
standard device using the system’s distinctive ringing patterns—different
patterns for outside, intercom, and transferred calls—or whether all calls should
ring like outside calls.
Considerations
■
■
■
Use this procedure if a standard device such as a modem or answering
machine does not pick up intercom or transferred calls.
The system does not pass distinctive ringing patterns generated by a PBX
or central office through to extensions (regardless of the setting for this
procedure).
If distinctive ring is set to “Not Active” for an extension where both a system
phone and a standard device are installed, the system phone continues to
use distinctive ringing, but all calls ring at the standard device using a
single ring burst.
Valid Entries
1 = Active (outside calls are single ring burst) ✔
2 = Not Active (outside, intercom, and transferred calls are single ring burst)
