AT&T II Telephone User Manual


 
phone connected to extension jack 10, lines ring according to defaults
(“immediate ring” for the primary line and “delayed ring” for secondary lines). If
you are combining Local Call Coverage with button-down operation, you may
want to adjust Line Ringing at covering extensions so that some secondary lines
ring. (To put the system into button-down mode, see page 5-10.)
Table 4-3 shows the settings you must change to switch from Central Call
Coverage to Local Call Coverage. The first column shows the name of the
programming procedure or function. System Programming procedures, which
determine how the equipment controller handles lines and extensions, include
the procedure number in parentheses—for example, “Line Assignment (#301).”
Telephone Programming procedures, which affect the operation of individual
extensions, show only the name of the procedure. (See Chapter 5 for more
information on programming.) The remaining columns show the required and
optional settings for this call coverage setup.
