Programming distinctive ringing
You can program a line or a telephone to use a distinctive ring, when alerting at a telephone. Ring types are ordered in a hierarchy. Hence, an incoming call, on a line with a higher priority ring than that assigned to the telephone, uses the line distinctive ring. If the telephone has the higher ring priority, the call uses the ring defined by the telephone.
Distinctive ring can also be defined for hunt group calls.
