Dial Tone and Ringer Patterns
The FrameMaker telephone system generates different ringer and dial tones,
depending on call conditions.
There are two types of dial tone:
• Internal Dial Tone – A continuous, higher-pitched tone
• External (Outside) Dial Tone – A continuous, lower-pitched tone
There are several types of ringers – all are answered the same way:
• One Ring – Internal (Extension-to-Extension) Calls and when the system
has called your extension to remind you or to notify you about something.
• Two Rings – External Calls
• Distinctive Rings – A different ring tone is provided for up to two
additional Direct Inward Dial (DID) numbers assigned to your telephone
by the system administrator. These numbers do not appear as lines on
your telephone, but ring your prime line with the appropriate ring when
they are dialed.
• Priority Ring – The call screening feature allows users to designate
specific callers as important enough to ring through to their telephone
even if Do Not Disturb is activated. A different ring tone is provided for
calls assigned the Priority Call option. See “Priority Call” on page 42.
Group Speed Dial
This feature provides additional speed dialing capabilities beyond those provided
by the Abbreviated Dial feature. With Group Speed Dialing, you have access to a
common speed dial list of up to 1,000 entries managed by your service provider.
Group Speed Dial numbers are extension numbers that have been programmed to
dial another number, usually an external number. Your service provider will provide
you with a list of Group Speed Dial numbers and their destinations.
Hold
This feature lets you place a call on hold. While a call is holding, the holding party
occupies the associated line.
