Immediate Ring
Delayed Ring
No Ring
In the "Intercom No. " column . . .
Find the intercom numbers for the voice terminals you want to program with special line selection sequences.
Write the line selection sequences in the appropriate spaces in the "Automatic Line Selection Sequence" column. (For example, if you want the voice terminal with intercom number 14 to have the automatic line selection sequence D, C, A, B, write DCAB in the space for intercom number 14 in the "Automatic Line Selection Sequence" column.)
Unless you program the voice terminal line buttons differently, calls coming in on each outside line ring immediately at every voice terminal with a line button for that line. But you can program voice terminal line buttons so that calls coming in on the lines assigned to those buttons will ring either after a delay or not at all.
Those people with primary responsibility for answering calls coming in on a shared line should have the button for that line programmed for immediate ring.
Those people with backup responsibility for answering calls coming in on a shared line should have the button for that line programmed for delayed ring. Then a call coming in on that line will ring only after it has gone unanswered elsewhere for two rings.
Those people who do not answer incoming calls on a shared line (for example, someone whose calls are screened) should have the button for that line programmed for no ring. This option is also useful for a voice terminal located in a lobby or conference room.
NOTE: Even though a line button has been programmed for delayed ring or no ring, the green light next to the button still begins to flash immediately when a call comes in on the line.
To the right of each intercom number, in the boxes containing check marks . . .
Write in the appropriate letter from the following list to indicate the ringing option you want for each line.
R = Immediate Ring
D = Delayed Ring
N = No Ring
You should now have a completed Line Assignments Form. Keep it in a place where you can find it when you want to administer the system or program individual voice terminals.
