and paging announcements when they are sent to the programmed zone. Using such an
arrangement, it is possible for a user to determine that certain lines are ringing, such as in
a night transfer (of ringing) mode, and go to the nearest telephone and answer the call.
The most common use for this arrangement is as a night bell eliminating the need for
external equipment as required with the common ringer and auxiliary ringer interface.
The speaker cannot be used for voice response as the path is one-way only. Use system
class of service programming to assign ringing and paging to a PA port.
Night Transfer (Of Ringing)
Night transfer (of ringing) is an attendant-controlled feature that transfers the day ringing
program of all incoming calls to a particular station or stations for off-hour or special
purpose answering. The night transfer mode can only be activated from station 10 or 12.
The individual lines at each station that are to be transferred with this feature are selected
by station class of service programming.
Night Transfer (Of Ringing) Button
A night transfer of ringing, or night mode, button is available at attendant stations. The
night mode button gives attendants at stations 10 and 12 the ability to place the system
into the night transfer of ringing mode of operation by simply pressing one button instead
of entering the multiple keystroke sequence previously required. The night mode button
toggles the feature on and off with one keystroke and the light located above the
Intercom button on attendant telephones flutters to indicate when the night transfer or
ringing is active.
Personalized Ringing Tone
The system provides a group of distinctive tones for station ringing. A station user can
choose a tone from this group to provide a distinctive ring at his or her telephone. Often,
when several telephones are located close to each other, each user chooses a different
personal ring tone. The system provides six distinctive tones for users to choose from.

Subdued Ringing

When a station is busy on a call and another call comes to the same station, the system
will automatically subdue the ringing of the second call to a lower volume.
