Forced Idle Reminder Tone

Forced idle reminder tones are provided in the following situations:
At the telephone, to remind an extension that the system or the
extension is in the forced idle state.
At the programming console or at a PC running SPM, to remind the
system manager that the system or at least one extension is in the
forced idle state because of administrative activity.
This tone is a high-low "doorphone" tone (400 ms of 667 Hz tone
followed by 400 ms of 571 Hz tone).
In Release 1.1 and Release 2.0 of the communications system, forced idle
reminder tones occur every 20 seconds. The user can adjust the volume of
these tones with the volume control.
