pause.
To test a ring pattern, click the button to the right of the drop-down list. Your phone
rings three times in a demonstration of that ring. Because the ring pattern derives from
a continuous loop, the first one might be truncated. Listen for the subsequent rings to
hear the pattern accurately.
Note:
On some systems, Splash ring 3 plays as Splash ring 2, and Short ring, Long
ring plays as Long ring, Short ring. This occurs if your Strata CS Server uses Intel®
Dialogic® DM/IP Internet telephony boards, DI/SI or HDSI station boards, or DM/V
conference bridge boards. Your Strata CS administrator can tell you if your system
behaves this way.
