Creating A Delayed Ringing Pattern - 3Com NBX 100 Administrator's Manual

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.
