Telephone Features
Code Calling Access
Allows attendants, users, and tie trunk users to page with coded chime signals. This
feature is helpful for users who are often away from their telephones or at a location
where a ringing telephone might be disturbing.
Special Ringing
Distinctive Ringing
Rings or activates alerting on your telephone in such a way that you are aware of the type
of incoming call before answering it. This feature operates in a Distributed
Communication System (DCS) environment the same as it does within a single system.
By default, internal calls are identified by a 1-burst ringing pattern, external calls by a
2-burst ringing pattern, and priority calls by a 3-burst ringing pattern. You can administer
these patterns, however.
Personalized Ringing
Allows users of certain telephones to uniquely identify their own calls. Each user can
choose one of a number of possible ringing patterns. The eight ringing patterns are tone
sequences consisting of different combinations of three tones. With this feature, users
working closely in the same area can each specify a different ringing pattern in order to
better identify their own calls.
Priority Calling
Allows you to ring another telephone with a distinctive signal that tells the called party the
incoming call requires immediate attention. The called party can then handle the call
accordingly. You activate priority calling by Dialing a Priority Calling access code or
pressing a feature button, followed by the extension number. You can use Priority Calling
only if your telephone has been administered with the required class of service.
Voice Terminal Alerting Options
Provides multi-appearance telephone users with different ringing patterns. This feature
primarily affects audible ringing for calls directed to telephones that are off hook, or calls
directed to idle and active CALLMASTER telephones.
