Distinctive Ring (#308)
Description
This System Programming procedure determines whether calls should ring at a standard device using the system’s distinctive ringing
Considerations
■Change the setting to Not Active if a standard device such as a modem or answering machine does not pick up intercom or transferred calls.
■If distinctive ring is set to Not Active for an extension where both a system phone and a standard device are installed, the system phone continues to use distinctive ringing, but all calls ring at the standard device using a single ring burst.
■The system does not pass distinctive ringing patterns generated by a PBX or central office through to extensions (regardless of the setting for this feature).
Valid Entries
1 = Active (outside calls are single ring burst) ✔
2 = Not Active (outside, intercom, and transferred calls are single ring burst)
