Unique Line Ringing (#209)—Release 3.0 or Later
Description
This feature applies only to MLS, PARTNER, and TransTalk phones.
This feature allows a ringing pattern (maximum of eight) to be assigned on a per
line basis for users to differentiate, by sound, which line is ringing. Once a ring
pattern is assigned to a line, incoming calls on that line ring with the assigned ring
pattern. Incoming calls that are transferred to another station ring with the
assigned ring pattern followed by two “transfer beeps.” Transfer returned calls
also ring with the two “transfer beeps”. Standard phones will ring with pattern 1
only.
Considerations
You can program standard phones for any ring pattern, but they will ring
with Pattern 1 only.
You must program MLC 6 phones with Pattern 1. If they are programmed
with another pattern, they will not ring.
Since only one audible alert can be heard at a station at one time, the
ringing pattern present at that station that has multiple lines alerting is for
the line that rang first. Once the call is answered, the station will begin
ringing using the pattern associated with the next alerting line for that
station.
Incoming calls that are ringing at a pool button will ring with the pattern
assigned to the line. Lines within a pool may be assigned individual ring
patterns.
