Distinctive Ring (#308)

Use this feature to determine whether calls should ring at a tip/ring device using the system's
distinctive ringing patterns—different patterns for outside, intercom, and transferred calls—or
whether all calls to the tip/ring device should ring like outside calls.
Considerations
Change the setting to Not Active if a tip/ring device such as a modem or answering machine
does not pick up intercom or transferred calls.
If distinctive ring is set to Not Active for an extension with both a system telephone and a tip/
ring device, the system telephone continues to use the system's distinctive ringing patterns,
but all calls ring at the tip/ring device using a single ring burst.
The system does not pass distinctive ringing patterns generated by a PBX or central office
through to extensions (regardless of the setting for this feature).
