Abbreviated Dialing
Ringdown Extension can use Abbreviated Dialing numbers (and follow their trunk routing) as
the destination number.
Call Forwarding
Ringdown Extension follows Call Forwarding. For example, the ringdown destination can
forward their calls. When the Ringdown Extension user lifts the handset, ringdown automati-
cally calls the extension to which calls are forwarded.
Call Waiting/Camp On, Callback and Off Hook Signaling
If the Ringdown Extension user hears busy tone when they lift the handset, they can Camp On
to the destination, leave a Callback or activate Off Hook Signaling.
Do Not Disturb
The ringdown destination user can activate Do Not Disturb. When the Ringdown Extension
user lifts the handset, they hear DND. If enabled, the Ringdown Extension user can override
the destination’s DND.
Handsfree Answerback/Forced Intercom Ringing
If the destination extension has Handsfree Answerback enabled, the call will voice-announce.
If the destination extension has Forced Intercom Ringing enabled, the call will ring.
Multiple Directory Numbers/Call Coverage Keys
A Multiple Directory Number key can be a ringdown destination. This would allow a ‘front
door’ key to be programmed on every extension.
Operation
To place a call if your extension has ringdown programmed:
1. Lift handset.
If you want to place a trunk call, press a line key before lifting the handset.
Depending on the setting of your ringdown timer, you may be able to dial an Intercom
call before your ringdown goes through.
If the destination has Handsfree Answerback enabled, your call will voice announce.
If the destination has Forced Intercom Ringing enabled, your call will ring.
To bypass ringdown (if enabled for your keyset):
1. Do not lift handset.
2. Press CALL.
3. Place Intercom or trunk call.
To answer a call if you are another extension’s ringdown destination:
1. Speak toward phone to answer incoming voice-announcement.
OR
