Delayed Ringing 119
■A 3Com 2101 Basic Telephone if a 3Com Attendant Console is associated with it. The administrator creates the bridged extension on the Attendant Console.
Example:
If an assistant’s job is to answer a manager’s telephone calls, the administrator can map the manager’s extension on the assistant’s telephone. The manager’s telephone is the primary telephone, and the assistant’s telephone is the secondary telephone.
Your administrator can map a primary telephone’s extension to one or more secondary telephones.
Delayed Ringing (3Com Business Telephone, 3Com Manager’s Telephone, and Attendant Console only) The Delayed Ringing feature prevents a call on a shared line from ringing on a specific telephone until the incoming call rings on another telephone for a specified number of times.
A shared line can be a bridged extension or an incoming analog telephone line that is mapped to more than one telephone.
Example:
The administrator programs (maps) a telephone extension to appear on both a manager’s telephone and the assistant’s telephone; that is, it is a bridged extension. The administrator has also enabled the Delayed Ringing feature on the manager’s telephone and has specified 4 rings (a typical setting).
When a call comes in to the manager on that extension, the assistant’s telephone rings 4 times before the call audibly rings on the manager’s telephone. Even during the first silent rings, the line’s status light on the manager’s telephone flashes, allowing the manager to answer the call if required.
Using Pulse Dialing In some locations, analog telephone users must dial telephone calls using pulse dialing instead of tone dialing (also called Dual Tone Multi Frequency, or DTMF, dialing).
Your administrator must configure the Analog Line Card ports for pulse dialing.
