IP Telephone Management Features 7

Introduction

This chapter explains how to interpret both the different ringer tones you hear and the telephone’s indicator lights. Also covered are testing your telephone to be sure it is operating properly, and personalizing your phone’s ringing pattern.

Interpreting Ringer Tones

As you become more familiar with your IP Telephone, you will recognize the various tones you hear in response to an incoming call or while using the handset. The chart below provides an overview of the tones you hear; check with your System Administrator to verify if the descriptions are accurate for your system.

Ringing Tones accompany an incoming call. Feedback Tones (as shown on the next page) are those which you hear through the handset (receiver) or the speaker.
