Ringdown Extension, Internal/External
Description
With a Ringdown Extension, a user can call another extension, outside number, or Abbreviated Dialing
number by just lifting the handset. The call automatically goes through - there is no need for the user to
dial digits or press additional keys. Ringdown Extensions are frequently used for lobby phones, where
the caller just lifts the handset to get the information desk or off-site Reservation Desk.
After the Ringdown Extension user lifts the handset, ringdown occurs after a programmable interval.
Depending on the setting of this interval, the extension user may be able to place other calls before the
ringdown goes through.
The system allows each extension in the system to have a Ringdown Extension. All extensions can share
the same dialing number, if desired.
Conditions
(A.) Ringdown extension has no effect on an extension’s current (active) call.
(B.) The Ringdown Extension user must lift the handset for ringdown to work.
Default Setting
Disabled.
