The Fax Extension feature overrides the distinctive ringing pattern for
calls transferred to a fax extension. When a fax extension receives a
transferred call, the fax extension provides one long ring (similar to an
inside call) instead of three short rings.
On multiline or single-line telephones where an SA or ICOM button is
available to receive the call, calls forwarded to an extension ring with an
abbreviated ring at both the forwarding extension and the destination
extension. Calls forwarded from either a multiline or single-line telephone
to an outside telephone number do not ring at the forwarding extension. In
Release 4.0 and prior systems, if no SA or ICOM button is available at the
forwarding extension, the call is not forwarded and the caller hears a busy
tone.
In Release 4.1 and later systems, a forwarded call that is received when
the forwarding single-line or multiline telephone has no available SA or
ICOM button is forwarded immediately and does not ring at the
forwarding extension, regardless of the Ring Timing options (Delay,
Immediate, or No Ring) set.
Outside calls received at the forwarding extension ring as inside calls at
the destination extension (one ring) and do not receive the normal
distinctive ring for an outside call.
With Immediate Ring, calls are sent immediately to the forwarded
extension. With Delay Ring, calls are delayed before forwarding. With No
Ring, calls are not forwarded. In Release 4.0 and later systems, if a
button is set to Delay Ring, calls are forwarded after both the Delay Ring
and Forwarding Delay. The two delays are cumulative.
Abbreviated ringing is not operable for calls to a calling group extension
because a calling group member who is active on a call is considered
unavailable for incoming calls. In Hybrid/PBX mode, calling group
members should program SA buttons for Immediate Ring.
If abbreviated ringing is not programmed, the user hears a low-volume
ring if another call comes in while he or she is already on a call.
Ringing Options can be set for HotLine extension (Release 5.0 and later
systems) lines. If a HotLine extension should not receive calls, its line
should be set for No Ring.
The ringing patterns for tip/ring devices connected to an MFM are those
of an MLX telephone rather than a single-line telephone—one ring for
inside calls, two for outside calls, and three for priority ring or transfer
return. Personalized ringing patterns cannot be programmed for an MFM.
Centralized telephone programming must be used to program Ring
Timing options (Immediate Ring, Delay Ring, or No Ring).
When Night Service is turned on, calls received at a Night Service group
member's telephone ring immediately even if the line buttons are
programmed for Delay Ring or No Ring. When Night Service is turned off,
telephones return to their programmed Ring Timing options.
