DISCREET RINGING SUPPORT
A new discreet ringing feature has been implemented in Release 4.0.0 SP1. When enabled, if
a call is incoming, the phone will play the configured ring tone once only. All applicable visual
indicators (LED for the corresponding Line key, Message Waiting Indicator [MWI], etc...) will
behave normally.
Administrators can configure this feature by defining the "discreet ringing" parameter in the
configuration files (i.e. "0", the default, disables this feature, while "1", enables discreet ringing).
Users can configure this feature by programming a key on the phone with the "Discreet Ringing"
type feature using the Mitel Web UI. After the key has been programmed, users can simply
toggle the feature on or off by pressing the programmed "Discreet" key.
Enabling/Disabling Discreet Ringing Using the Configuration Files
Use the following parameter to enable/disable discreet ringing:
Note: If a custom ring tone is selected and discreet ringing is enabled, the phone will
not play the custom ring tone during an incoming call. Ring tone 1 will be played once
instead.
