It may be easy for agents to confuse the ring of nearby voice terminals with
the ringing sound of their own. Each agent, especially within an individual
split, may want to program his or her voice terminal with a ringing pattern
that is easier to identify. There are eight different ringing patterns available.
NOTE: Even if you program your voice terminal with its own
personalized ring, you can still distinguish between the different
kinds of calls.
To program the preferred ringing pattern for a voice terminal:
For an analog voice terminal,
1 Slide the T/P switch to P .
You hear the voice terminal's current ring.
2 Touch Speaker repeatedly until you hear a ringing pattern you like.
3 Slide the T/P switch to center.
