This feature is usually used in one of four ways:
1You may want to assign one of your lines its own ring tone and leave the other lines set at the default ring. For example, if line 3 were a private line at your telephone, you may assign it a dis- tinctive ring so you could easily recognize calls ringing on your private line.
2Or, you may want to assign a particular line the same distinctive ring at all of the stations. For example, if line 3 were the customer service line, you may assign line 3 the same distinctive tone at all the telephones so everybody could easily tell when this line was ringing.
3Another use of this feature would be to give all of the lines at your telephone the same distinc- tive ring so that you could easily tell when your particular phone was ringing and differentiate it from the ringing of other nearby telephones.
4Or, you might give all of your lines the same distinctive ring simply because you prefer that particular ringing tone.
