Creating a Delayed
Ringing Pattern
You can define a ringing progression for a line that is mapped to multiple
telephones. For example, you can configure a call to ring immediately at
telephone 1, begin ringing at telephone 2 after 4 rings, and then begin
ringing at telephone 3 after 8 rings. Any of the telephones can pick up
the call at any time, even if it has not yet started audibly ringing at a
particular telephone. (The light flashes during all rings.)
Delayed ringing works with Key mode only, that is, with line card ports
mapped to buttons on two or more telephones.
Delayed ringing is useful for backup coverage on shared lines, such as for
secretaries who must cover each other’s lines.
Additional considerations:
■ The first telephone and each succeeding telephone in a delayed
ringing pattern continue to ring until the call is answered or
transferred to the Auto Attendant.
■ Telephones belonging to a delayed ringing pattern do not need to
belong to the same group. As long as all the telephones have the
same line mapped, you can create the delayed ringing pattern.
To create a delayed ringing pattern:
1 Use the
Group Button Mappings feature of the NBX NetSet utility to map a
CO line. See Creating and Managing Button Mappings
on page 147.
2 Set
Ring to Yes.
3 Clear the
Lock check box.
4 In the NBX NetSet - Main Menu window, click
Device Configuration.
5 On the
Telephones tab, choose the second telephone in the progression
of telephones where you want to create the Delayed Ringing pattern, and
then click the
Button Mappings button.
6 For the shared line appearance button, set the
Ring box to the behavior
that you want.
To have the telephone begin ringing after one ring, select
1; after two
rings, select
2. Select No to disable ringing entirely. (The indicator light still
functions to indicate ringing/call status.) Do not change the settings in
the
Type, Number, and Prty boxes.
7 Repeat the procedure for each telephone in the Delayed Ringing pattern,
taking care to set the Ring delay to create the appropriate delay for each
extension.
