For example, suppose New Distinctive Ringing is enabled and a call comes
in from a Distinctive Ringing enabled trunk. If the call terminates on a
Meridian digital telephone with DR2 Class of Service, it rings with DR2
(frequency and warble tone), but with a cadence of 0.512 on and 0.512 off,
followed by 1.024 on and 4.096 off. This also applies to the M3000
Touchphone. If the M3000 custom ringing option is selected, Distinctive
Ringing is overridden.
