Code Calling Access

Allows attendants, users, and tie trunk users to page with coded chime signals. This feature is helpful for users who are often away from their telephones or at a location where a ringing telephone might be disturbing.

Special Ringing

Distinctive Ringing

Rings or activates alerting on your telephone in such a way that you are aware of the type of incoming call before answering it. This feature operates in a Distributed Communication System (DCS) environment the same as it does within a single system.

By default, internal calls are identified by a 1-burst ringing pattern, external calls by a

2-burst ringing pattern, and priority calls by a 3-burst ringing pattern. You can administer these patterns, however.

Personalized Ringing

Allows users of certain telephones to uniquely identify their own calls. Each user can choose one of a number of possible ringing patterns. The eight ringing patterns are tone sequences consisting of different combinations of three tones. With this feature, users working closely in the same area can each specify a different ringing pattern in order to better identify their own calls.

Priority Calling

Allows you to ring another telephone with a distinctive signal that tells the called party the incoming call requires immediate attention. The called party can then handle the call accordingly. You activate priority calling by Dialing a Priority Calling access code or pressing a feature button, followed by the extension number. You can use Priority Calling only if your telephone has been administered with the required class of service.

Voice Terminal Alerting Options

Provides multi-appearance telephone users with different ringing patterns. This feature primarily affects audible ringing for calls directed to telephones that are off hook, or calls directed to idle and active CALLMASTER telephones.
