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.

• 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).

To change the Distinctive Ring setting:

1. Press feature +(00)+(system program)+(system program)+#308 at extension 10 or 11.
2. At the Extension: prompt, enter the number of the extension to be programmed.
3. Press (Next Data) until the appropriate value appears.
   1 = Active (outside, intercom, and transferred calls ring differently, using the system’s
   distinctive ringing patterns; the factory setting)
   2 = Not Active (outside, intercom, and transferred calls all ring using a single ring burst)
4. To program another extension, press (next item)or (prev item)until the extension number appears on the display. Repeat Step 3.
5. Select another procedure, or exit programming mode.
