Timeout
You can set system-wide ringing patterns to distinguish between internal
and external calls. You can choose one, two, or three rings to distinguish
between internal and external calls.
Do not confuse ringing patterns with ringer tones, which NBX system
users can set for their telephones using NBX NetSet. For information on
setting a user's ringing tones, see the NBX Telephone Guide or the User
Help.
To set ringing patterns
1 Log on to the NBX NetSet utility using the administrator login ID and
password.
2 Click System Configuration > System Settings > Ringing Patterns. See the
Help for instructions.
Purpose
The length of time before a conference attempt is
abandoned. Applies to a blind (unannounced) conference
only. The timeout takes effect under these conditions:
Two people, A and B, are involved in a call and one of
them attempts to blind conference another person, C.
C does not answer and C's voice mail does not pick up
the call.
After the Conference Timeout period, the system stops
ringing C's telephone, stops attempting to conference
with C, and reverts to the call between A and B.
The length of time that a transferred call attempts the
transfer before it rings back to the caller's extension.
The length of time before a call redirected from a TAPI
route point by an external application goes back to its
original destination. After two failures, the call goes to the
TAPI route point's call coverage option. For more
information, see "TAPI Route Points"
