Description
Assign a telephone to provide backup answering for calls on the line. For an Auto
Answer line, calls are redirected if the received number is invalid or the target line is
busy, and if the If busy parameter is set To prime.
Each line can be assigned only one prime telephone.
This field shows the Distinct Ring Patterns that have already been assigned to at
least one line.
Choose the distinctive ring pattern that you want to assign to the line. This allows
you to provide selective service to calls with differing answer priorities.
When more than one line with the distinct ring settings rings at a telephone, the line
with the highest priority will ring first.
• Pattern 4 has the highest ring priority
• Pattern 3 has second highest ring priority
• Pattern 2 has third highest ring priority
• None has the lowest ring priority.
By default, all telephones and lines are set to None
Warning:
If you assign a distinctive ring pattern to a line, and that distinctive ring pattern has
already been assigned to a telephone, all telephones with that ring pattern will be
reset to pattern 1.
If you assign a distinctive ring pattern to a telephone, and that distinctive ring
pattern has already been assigned to a line, all lines with that ring pattern will be
reset to None.
Define whether one Business Communications Manager user can select a line in
use at another telephone to join an existing call. Refer to
a call" on page 270. (FEATURE 83)
Define whether a trunk is manual or automatic answer.
Auto answer mode allows the trunk to be a shared resource by the system
telephones.
For auto answer trunks being used to allow remote call-in from system users, the
trunk can be configured to answer with a straight dial tone, if DISA has not been
enabled. It can also be configured to answer with a stuttered dial tone if DISA is
enabled and the caller is expected to enter a COS password. The COS password
defines which system features the caller is permitted to access.
Manual answer trunks are assigned to one or more telephones. The assigned
telephones exclusively own the line.
If Y, when a remote user calls into the system on an unsupervised line, the system
prompts a caller for a six-digit class of service (COS) password.
If N, when a remote user calls into the system on an unsupervised line, the call is
connected as dialed.
Turn the auxiliary ringer on or off for all telephones using this line.
When programmed on a line, the auxiliary ringer will ring every time a call is
received.
Note: When programmed only on a telephone, no ring occurs for a transferred call.
An auxiliary ringer can also be programmed in Services to ring for a line placed into
a scheduled Ringing service. Refer to
