Setting The Return Interval For Transferred Calls - AT&T MERLIN 3070 Administration Manual

SETTING THE RETURN INTERVAL FOR TRANSFERRED CALLS

When your system is installed, it is setup so that a call that is transferred from one
voice terminal to another rings four times at the second voice terminal. Then, if
nobody answers, the call continues to ring at this voice terminal and also begins to
ring again at the voice terminal from which it was transferred. If you wish, you can
vary the number of times that transferred calls ring to suit the needs of your particular
business.
For example, if your voice terminals serve large areas or if employees cannot stop
their work immediately to answer calls, you may want to provide as many as nine
rings before a transferred call is returned. On the other hand, if you prefer to minimize
ringing at voice terminals that are unattended or in public places, you can set the
return interval for one or two rings. You can also set your system not to return trans-
ferred calls at all.
