How to Customize the Distinctive Ringing Feature
Distinctive Ringing allows you to associate a unique audible ring type with each
of your phone lines. You can associate a unique ring type with your manager’s
proxy line to quickly distinguish between your incoming calls and your manager’s
incoming calls.
Use the following procedure to customize the Distinctive Ringing feature directly
on your phone.
Procedure
Step 1 Press the settings button on your Cisco IP Phone.
Step 2 Use the Navigation button to select Ring Type from the Settings menu (or press
2 on your phone key pad).
Each of the lines on your phone, along with its selected ring type, is displayed on
your phone’s LCD screen. Initially, all of these lines use the default ring type.
Step 3 To change the ring type for a line, use the Navigation button to select the line,
then press the Select softkey.
Note To identify which manager proxy line on your phone is associated
with a particular manager, look at the My Calls panel of the
Assistant Console. This is the area where manager proxy lines and
manager names are displayed. (A manager’s proxy line is the line on
which you receive incoming calls for that manager.)
Step 4 Use the Navigation button to scroll through the list of available ring types for the
selected line. To hear a sample of any ring type, select the ring type, then press
the Play softkey.
