Delayed Ringing

Using Pulse Dialing

Example:
If an assistant's job is to answer a manager's telephone calls, the
administrator can map the manager's extension on the assistant's
telephone. The manager's telephone is the primary telephone, and the
assistant's telephone is the secondary telephone.
Your administrator can map a primary telephone's extension to one or
more secondary telephones.
(3Com Business Telephone, 3Com Manager's Telephone, and
Attendant Console only) The Delayed Ringing feature prevents a call
on a shared line from ringing on a specific telephone until the incoming
call rings on another telephone for a specified number of times.
A shared line can be a bridged extension or an incoming analog
telephone line that is mapped to more than one telephone.
Example:
The administrator programs (maps) a telephone extension to appear on
both a manager's telephone and the assistant's telephone; that is, it is a
bridged extension. The administrator has also enabled the Delayed
Ringing feature on the manager's telephone and has specified 4 rings (a
typical setting).
When a call comes in to the manager on that extension, the assistant's
telephone rings 4 times before the call audibly rings on the manager's
telephone. Even during the first silent rings, the line's status light on the
manager's telephone flashes, allowing the manager to answer the call if
required.
In some locations, analog telephone users must dial telephone calls using
pulse dialing instead of tone dialing (also called Dual Tone Multi
Frequency, or DTMF, dialing).
Your administrator must configure the Analog Line Card ports for pulse
dialing.
