Ring Tones
Ring tones can be defined in the following terms:
-
Distinctive Ringing - Inside, Outside and Ringback
A distinctive ring tone can be given for each of the different call types: an internal call, an external call and a ringback calls (voicemail calls, ringback when free calls, calls returning from park, hold or transfer).

The distinctive ringing patterns used for all non-analog phones are fixed as follows:
-
-
Internal Call: Repeated single-ring.
-
External Call: Repeated double-ring.
-
Ringback Call: Repeated single-ring followed by two short rings.

For analog phones, the ringing pattern used for each call type can be set through the IP Office configuration in Manager. This is done using the settings on System | Telephony and or User | Telephony tabs.

Refer to the appropriate IP Office telephone user guide.
