Default Settin
g
: Off
This command sets the AFX-500 to use a Caller ID device
when the AFX-500 is set to automatic mode and Rings to An-
swer Call feature is set to two rings. Instead of answering on
the first ring, the AFX-500 passes the first two rings directly to
the
ANSWERING MACHINE
and
PHONE
jacks, giving the Caller
ID device time to record and display the Caller ID information.
In semiautomatic mode, incoming calls are passed directly to
the
ANSWERING MACHINE
and
PHONE
jacks for up to six
rings, so this feature does not need to be turned on.

: 1 ring
This command sets the number of rings the AFX-500 waits be-
fore it answers a call in automatic mode, to enable a Caller ID
device to work with the AFX-500.
If this ring count is set higher than 1 and a call is answered
from an extension phone before the AFX-500 answers, the
single tone transfers and Rotary (Pulse) Dial Transfer are de-
activated. The transfer codes still work, but only if preceded by
#.
