AT&T 518-455-317 manual Direct Extension Dial Delay #112

Direct Extension Dial Delay (#112)

Description

This System Programming procedure specifies the number of times (0–9) an incoming call should ring before it is answered by the system.

Related Features

■Direct Extension Dial affects incoming calls only on lines identified using

Direct Extension Dial Lines (#205).

■You must program a button on the system display phone at extension 10 to turn Direct Extension Dial on and off. Use Direct Extension Dial Button (#113) to program the button.

■You must use Direct Extension Dial Record/Playback to record a message to prompt callers to dial an extension number or Hunt Group number after the system answers an outside call.

Considerations

This feature works independently of Line Ringing, which determines how an outside call rings at the extension—immediately, after a 20 second delay, or not at all. Direct Extension Dial Delay specifies the number of rings a caller hears before the system answers the call.

Valid Entries

0–9 (0 rings = answered immediately)
