Ringing Line Preference lets you
answer a ringing call just by lift-
ing the handset. If you primarily
answer calls, Ringing Line Preference ensures that your incoming
calls have priority. Your Communications Manager can tell you if
you have Ringing Line Preference.
If you have multiple calls ringing your extension at the same
time, lifting the handset (with Ringing Line Preference) answers
the calls in the following order:
●
key.
●
Line key (lowest key first). For example, if lines 2 and 4 are
ringing, lifting the handset answers line 2 first.
●
Loop key (lowest key first). For example, if keys 1 and 5 are
ringing, lifting the handset answers key 1 first.
In addition, if you and a co-worker with Ringing Line Preference
answer the same outside line at the same time, the system con-
nects the call to the lowest numbered extension.
Prime Line and Ringing Line Preference
Ringing Line Preference has priority over Prime Line. For exam-
ple, Ringing Line Preference will answer a ringing outside call,
not give you dial tone on your Prime Line.
