Incoming Call Alert Tone To The Paging System
Calls can be set up to ring over a paging system in addition to ringing at individual extensions.
Anyone can answer the call from any extension by dialing “3”. This is recommended for
businesses where employees are not seated at desks with phones, or where there is no dedicated
receptionist/operator.
Incoming Calls To An Auto-Attendant System
If you are using an external Auto-Attendant / Voice Mail system, you can choose to have incoming
calls ring at the Voice Mail unit or at an operator’s extension. Simply enter the Standard Incoming
Line list to refl ect the extensions to which you would like to direct the incoming calls.
Defi ning The Standard Incoming Line
In most installations, all outside lines would be confi gured as a Standard Incoming Line. You will
fi rst defi ne a list of extensions which will ring when an incoming call is detected. You might also
choose to defi ne a second list of extensions which will ring when an incoming call is detected in
the Night Mode.
The operation of an outside line confi gured to be a Standard Incoming Line is as follows. When
an incoming call is detected, the IPS checks the extensions starting at the top of the appropriate
(day or night) list to fi nd the fi rst available extension. This extension will start ringing. Zero to
nine rings later (see “Multiple Ringing Time”, page 101), the IPS will fi nd the next three available
extensions in the list and start to ringing. After 5 to 60 seconds have passed (see “Rollover On
Standard Incoming Calls Timing”, page 98), the IPS will ring an available Rollover Extension
(usually a Voice Mail unit or answering machine).
Additionally, all BBS key telephones with the ‘RP’ (Ring Position) indicator set will also ring
when incoming calls are detected on outside lines confi gured as Standard Incoming Lines.
