Abbreviated Ringing (#305)
Description
This feature applies only to system phones.
This System Programming procedure activates or deactivates Abbreviated
Ringing at the system phone at a specific extension. When a user is on a call and
Abbreviated Ringing is Active, any incoming call rings only once. The green light
next to the line or pool button flashes until the call is answered or the caller hangs
up (or for a transferred call, until it returns to the transfer return extension). This
feature prevents incoming calls from distracting users when they are busy on
another call. To allow calls to ring repeatedly, set Abbreviated Ringing to Not
Active.
Considerations
■ Abbreviated Ringing is typically set to Not Active for receptionists and
others who handle many calls quickly, so they have an audible reminder of
incoming calls.
■ Abbreviated Ringing applies to outside, transferred,
and
intercom calls.
■ The volume of an abbreviated ring is lower than a normal ring.
■ Calls to a busy extension ring at a lower volume than normal even if
Abbreviated Ring is set to Not Active.
Valid Entries
1 = Active (incoming calls ring once) ✔
2 = Not Active (incoming calls ring repeatedly)
