Considerations
Each user (except a QCC system operator) can use Personalized Ring to
change the telephone's ringing pattern so that the user can distinguish the ring
from other telephones. The system has eight ringing patterns from which to
choose.
On analog multiline telephones, the user hears the personalized ringing pattern
at the end of the ringing cycle. On digital telephones, the user hears the
personalized ringing pattern at the beginning of the ringing cycle.
The principal owner of a Shared System Access button can activate Send Ring
which causes any Shared System Access buttons on other telephones that are
programmed with delayed ring to ring immediately when the user is on the
telephone. The feature can be activated or canceled by programming the
principal System Access owner's telephone. The factory setting for Send Ring is
active.
A priority call is indicated by a four-ring pattern on an MLX telephone and by a
three-ring pattern on an analog multiline telephone.
Only Distinctive Ringing is operable on single-line telephones. However,
off-premise single-line telephones do not receive distinctive ring treatment.
In Behind Switch mode, Prime Line buttons are factory-set for Immediate Ring.
The factory setting can be changed.
The factory setting for all outside lines, Intercom and System Access buttons,
and all types of Cover buttons is Immediate Ring.
When a user programs a Personal Line, Intercom, or System Access button
for Delayed Ring, the user's telephone does not ring audibly until after two
rings. This interval is fixed and cannot be changed.
The Delayed Ring Interval programmed for the system can be set to 1-6
rings (the factory setting is 2 rings) via system programming. This interval
applies only to Cover (Primary, Secondary, or Group) buttons programmed
for Delayed Ring and does not apply to any other type of line button.
Ringing options cannot be programmed for Intercom or System Access
Originate Only buttons since calls are not received on these buttons.
