RING SIGNAL TYPE FOR BLF AND BLF/LIST

Note: Applicable to the 6865i, 6867i, 6869i, and 6873i IP Phones only.
There is a global parameter "play a ring splash" that controls whether or not a ring splash is
played when there is an incoming call on a BLF- or BLF/List-monitored extension. For the 6865i,
6867i, 6869i, and 6873i IP phones, you can configure the phone to play the ring splash when
idle only or when idle and also in an active call state.
Note: When on an active call using a wired analog headset, the call's audio may be
interrupted during the BLF/BLF-List ring splash.
In addition to this global ring splash control, administrators can control the ring splash alert
pattern on a per key basis. Each type of key can have a different ring splash alerting pattern
and volume. When the phone UI receives the event update from the line manager for BLF
transitions to ringing state, the ring splash value is checked to take the appropriate action.
The following alerting patterns are available for all applicable phones:
• 0: Silence (ring splash off).
• 1: Normal (same as current BLF ring splash).
• 2: Normal delayed (After a delay of [x] seconds, the ring signal that is the same as the
current BLF ring splash is played [use the "ring splash delay" parameter to define the
delay]).
• 3: Periodic (similar to the normal ring signal that is used by the phone itself. The actual ring
melody is based on the current melody set for the line to which the BLF key is
associated).
• 4: Periodic delayed (same as Periodic but after a delay of [x] seconds, the ring signal that
is used by the phone is played [use the "ring splash delay" parameter to define the delay]).
• 5: Low volume (same as the current BLF ring splash but at a lower level to be less intrusive).
• 6: Low volume delayed (after a delay of [x] seconds, the ring signal that is the same as the
current BLF ring splash is played at a lower level [use the "ring splash delay" parameter
to define the delay]).
