Customizing how long your phone rings

You can specify how long a call rings your phone (your default internal or external station) before it proceeds to the next action on your routing list (by default your voicemail). Ring duration for call forwarding and routing lists is determined elsewhere.

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

2.Click the Phone tab.

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

The ring duration you enter here can be overridden by the ring duration specified in a personal status or routing list.

Note: By default the minimum ring duration is 5 seconds and the maximum is 120 seconds. Your system administrator can extend the possible range from 1 to 999 seconds.

4.Click OK.

Note: Caller ID is transmitted between the first and 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 action on the routing list.
