The IP Office uses 'distinctive ringing' for different types of calls - a repeated single ring for internal calls,
a repeated double ring for external calls and a single ring followed by two short rings for ringback calls.
These options are fixed by the IP Office. The phone's own menus allow its ringer sound to be
personalized so you can recognize it from other ringing phones.
To change the ringer sound:
You can choose from among eight different ring sounds. This alters the tone and style of ringing used by
