Ringdown Extension (Hotline), Internal/External

Description
With a Ringdown Extension, a user can call another extension, outside number, or Speed Dialing
number by just lifting the handset. The call automatically goes through – there is no need for the user to
dial digits or press additional keys. Ringdown Extensions are frequently used for lobby telephones,
where the caller just lifts the handset to get the information desk or off-site Reservation Desk.
After the Ringdown Extension user lifts the handset, ringdown occurs after a programmable time.
Depending on the setting of this time, the extension user may be able to place other calls before the
ringdown goes through.
This feature can also be used as an off-hook alarm application. For example, if a patient in a care facility
fails to return the handset to the cradle, it routes to a care givers station after a programmed time.
This feature is sometimes known as a Hotline.

Ringdown Extension follows Call Forwarding. For example, the ringdown destination can

automatically calls the extension to which calls are forwarded.
If the Ringdown Extension user hears busy tone when they lift the handset, they can
Camp-On to the destination, leave a Callback or activate Off-Hook Signaling.

user lifts the handset, they hear DND. If enabled, the Ringdown Extension user can
override the destination DND.
