Lucent Technologies 518-458-100 manual Distinctive Ring #308

Feature Reference

Distinctive Ring (#308)

Description

This System Programming procedure determines whether calls should ring at a standard device using the system’s distinctive ringing patterns—different patterns for outside, intercom, and transferred calls—or whether all calls to the standard device should ring like outside calls.

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 the system’s distinctive ringing patterns, 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, intercom, and transferred calls ring differently, using the ssystem’s distinctive ringing patterns) ✔

2= Not Active (outside, intercom, and transferred calls all ring using a single ring burst)
