Lucent Technologies 4.1 manual Line Ringing

Line Ringing

Description

This Telephone Programming procedure determines how each outside line or pool assigned to an extension rings. A line or pool can ring immediately, ring with a 20 second delay, or not ring at all. Delayed Ring is useful for backup coverage on shared lines or pools, such as for secretaries who cover each other’s lines. No Ring is useful for all extensions except 10 when a receptionist answers all calls, or for phones with no regular users, such as in conference rooms.

Related Features

■To copy the Line Ringing settings (as well as other system settings) to other extensions, you can use Copy Settings (#399).

■Users automatically receive Caller ID information for calls that audibly alert at the extension. (For lines or pools set to Immediate Ring, Caller ID information is displayed after the first ring. For lines or pools set to Delayed Ring, Caller ID information is displayed as soon as the call begins audibly alerting. For lines or pools set to No Ring, no Caller ID information is displayed.)

Considerations

■Program this feature from extension 10 or 11 only, using Centralized Telephone Programming. Individual users cannot program this feature.

■System phone users see the light patterns for the lines assigned to their extensions even if Line Ringing is set to Delayed Ring or No Ring. Light patterns do not appear for incoming calls on pool buttons that are set to No Ring.

■If a line at an extension is set to No Ring, a user at that extension has to manually select the line to answer a call.
