Configuring The Number Of Rings To Wait Before Answering The Call (Optional) - Patton electronics SmartNode Series Software Configuration Manual

SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
Note Verify that you have configured the dial-tone for the country in which the
SmartNode is installed. (see chapter 42,
If the dial-tone is not configured for the proper country, the FXO interface
will not detect when the remote FXS switch is sending dial-tone.
Configuring the number of rings to wait before answering the call (optional)
An FXO port identifies an incoming call by detecting the ring from the FXS switch. The
configurable parameter which selects the number of rings before answering the incoming call, that is, before
going off-hook and establishing the call. The minimum value for
ber of zero, the FXO interface never answers an incoming call.
Due to variations between countries, the proper setting may be 1 or 2. In the USA the Caller-ID (CLID) is sent
to the FXO port between the first and second ring, so a ring-number of 2 would be appropriate. On the other
hand, numerous countries send the CLID prior to the first ring, so the default setting of 1 would be satisfactory.
