Channel Specific Parameters - #172
Init Mode
Init Mode reflects the method of answering for each port.
The Octel 50 system supports the following modes:
C
Serial integration
D
Inband signaling, off hook waiting for inband
signaling digits
N
Normal, on hook waiting for rings
P
Pulse inband signaling, off hook waiting for inband
signaling digits
T
Tone inband signaling, off hook waiting for inband
signaling digits
W Wink start
When/How to Use
Each position in the parameter setting equals the operating
mode of the corresponding port.
This parameter supports SMDI-type switches that do not
use normal means for alerting the voice mail system of
incoming calls and hangups, the INITMODE should be set
to C for each port supporting the voice mail ports of the
switch.
The default shown is for an 8-port system.

Channel Specific Parameters - #173
Number of
Incoming Rings
(INRINGS)
This parameter specifies the number of rings each port must
hear before it answers an incoming call. Each character
represents the number of rings for each corresponding
channel. For example, if INRINGS is set to 2211, ports 0
and 1 are answered after two rings, while ports 2 and 3 are
answered after one ring.
When/How to Use
On some phone systems, especially those without true hunt
groups, this parameter should be set to consecutive
numbers to prevent multiple lines from being answered at
the same time.
The default shown is for an 8-port system.
Related Parameters/Features
This parameter should not be confused with the Maximum
Rings Before No Answer (RINGS) parameter in System
Setup or the Maximum Rings parameter on the Class of
Service dialog box.
If Set Too High
The higher you set this parameter, the longer the delay
before the port answers the call.
