Centrex operation

Set ring delay duration

This feature allows other system telephones’ calls to ring at the console phone. After a specified ring delay, the calls will ring at the console phone. (See CSL DELAY RING on page 75 of the installation guide.)

Answer a delayed ring

1.Select an idle line.

2.Enter the Centrex pickup code.
