Distinctive Ring (#308) - Avaya Partner 18 Programming And Use Manual

Distinctive Ring (#308)

Description
This System Programming procedure determines whether calls should ring at a
standard device using the system's distinctive ringing patterns—different
patterns for outside, intercom, and transferred calls—or whether all calls should
ring like outside calls.
Considerations
Change the setting to Not Active if a standard device such as a modem or
answering machine does not pick up intercom or transferred calls.
If distinctive ring is set to Not Active for an extension where both a system
phone and a standard device are installed, the system phone continues to
use distinctive ringing, but all calls ring at the standard device using a
single ring burst.
The system does not pass distinctive ringing patterns generated by a PBX
or central office through to extensions (regardless of the setting for this
feature).
Valid Entries
1 = Active (only outside calls use a single ring burst)
2 = Not Active (outside, intercom, and transferred calls use a single ring burst)
Programming
To change the Distinctive Ring setting:
1. Press
2. At the Extension: prompt, enter the number of the extension to be

3. To activate or deactivate Distinctive Ring for the extension, press
