Instruction manual
Abbreviated Ringing (#305)
Description
This System Programming procedure turns Abbreviated Ringing on or off at a
specific extension. When a user is on a call and Abbreviated Ringing is on, any
incoming calls ring only once. The green light next to the line button flashes
until the call is answered or the caller hangs up (or for a transferred call, until it
returns to the transfer return extension). This feature prevents incoming calls
from distracting users when they are busy on another call. To allow calls to ring
repeatedly, set Abbreviated Ringing to “Not Active.”
Considerations
■
Receptionists, and others who handle many calls quickly, often turn
Abbreviated Ringing off, so they have an audible reminder of incoming calls.
■
Abbreviated Ringing works for outside, transferred, and intercom calls.
Valid Entries
1 = Active (incoming calls ring once)
