Toshiba Strata CS manual Customizing how long your phone rings, Changing ring patterns

You can remove your name from the dial-by-name directory if you want only callers who know your extension to call you. You can also specify whether or not the dial-by-name directory reads your extension to callers.

To customize your dial-by-name listing

1.Choose Tools > Options. The Options dialog box opens.

2.On the General tab, uncheck List in dial-by-name directory to remove yourself from the directory. If checked, callers can dial you by name.

3.If you choose to be listed in the dial-by-name directory, you can check Play extension to the caller to have Strata CS read your extension to callers who find you by using the dial-by-name directory. Callers hear “Transferring to <your voice title> at extension <your extension>.”

If unchecked, callers who find you by using the dial-by-name directory hear only “Transferring to <your voice title>.”

4.Click OK.

Customizing how long your phone rings

You can specify how long a call rings your phone before it proceeds to the next step on your routing list (in most cases, the next step is your voice mail).

1.Choose Tools > Options.The Options dialog box opens.

2.Click the General tab.

3.In the Ring duration field, enter the number seconds your phone should ring before a call proceeds to the next step on your routing list.

4.Click OK.

Note: Caller ID is transmitted after the second ring. If your phone supports caller ID, you may want to increase this setting so that there is enough time for caller ID to be displayed and read before the call is sent to the next step on the routing list.

1.Choose Tools > Options. The Options dialog box opens.

2.Click the Phone tab.

3.Under Ring patterns, select the type of ring that you want for Internal calls and External calls. The “Splash ring” settings create a group of short rings followed by a pause.
