Ringdown - NEC UX5000 Feature Handbook

Ringdown

Call a co-worker or outside party by just lifting the handset on your terminal. The call goes through auto-
matically - there is no need to dial digits or lift the handset. There are two types of Ringdown: Ringdown
Extension and External Hotline. With Ringdown Extension, you reach another extension (typically a lobby
or service terminal) when you lift the handset. If your terminal has External Hotline, your terminal automat-
ically dials a specified Common Abbreviated Dialing number instead. If you want either of these Ringdown
options on your terminal, talk to your Communications Manager.
When a user lifts the handset on a Ringdown Extension, the ringdown occurs after an interval that is set in pro-
gramming. Try to monitor this operation. If the interval is too long, unauthorized users may have time to call
your co-workers or use UX5000 features. (External Hotline always occurs as soon as you lift the handset.)
To use Ringdown:
1. Lift handset.
To bypass Ringdown (for Ringdown Extension only):
1. Do not lift handset.
