Defining priority ringing

Priority ringing allows a distinctive ring to be attached to up to 10 incoming caller identifications. For example, a United Kingdom-style ringing pattern can be used to identify calls originating from your home number.

You set priority ringing in the Priority Ringing screen. From the Main Menu go to System Configuration and then Telephone Setup. Select Priority Ringing and press Return. The Priority Ringing screen appears.

Enter Caller ID

You can enter a list of Caller IDs and associate a ringing tone with each ID.

To set up priority ringing:

1.For CallerID, enter a telephone number sequence. Observe the following guidelines:

The following characters are acceptable:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 . ( ) / - ?

Other characters are invalid and cause the entire entry to be rejected.

The ? character represents a single-digit wildcard. While matching the incoming caller identification with the priority ringing CallerIDs, any digit is considered to be a match at the location where the ? appears. For example, the caller identification 415-555-111?matches incoming numbers

415-555-1112 and 415-555-1113 for priority ringing.

The maximum entry length is 20 characters. Longer entries are rejected. Note, however, that telephone numbers consist of a maximum of 10 digits. For internal matching against an incoming call, the Netopia Router removes all characters that are not digits or wildcards.

2.For Ringing Tone, press Return and select one of the ringing patterns listed in the pop-up menu.

3.To test a ringing pattern, highlight Preview Ring and press Return. Select one of the ringing patterns listed in the pop-up menu. When one or more telephones are hooked up to either of the Phone 1 or Phone 2 jacks, the pattern rings briefly on the telephones not in use.
