Lucent Technologies 4.1 Abbreviated Ringing #305, This feature applies only to system phones

Abbreviated Ringing (#305)

Description

This feature applies only to system phones.

This System Programming procedure activates or deactivates Abbreviated Ringing at the system phone at a specific extension. When a user is on a call and Abbreviated Ringing is active, any incoming calls ring only once. The green light next to the line or pool button flashes until the call is answered or the caller hangs up (or for a transferred call, until it returns to the transfer return extension). This feature prevents incoming calls from distracting users when they are busy on another call. To allow calls to ring repeatedly, set Abbreviated Ringing to Not Active.

Considerations

■Abbreviated Ringing typically is set to Not Active for receptionists and others who handle many calls quickly, so they have an audible reminder of incoming calls.

■Abbreviated Ringing applies to outside, transferred, and intercom calls.

■The volume of an abbreviated ring is lower than a normal ring.

■Calls to a busy extension ring at a lower volume than normal even if Abbreviated Ring is set to Not Active.
