4.2.14 RING COUNT (Function 42)
Ring count is the number of times Select Gate will ring the house or residence before it
hangs up.
If there are any other devices attached to the phone line such as answering machines that
you do not want to have answer the Select Gate, then set the Select Gate ring count number to a
number lower than those devices require. This will allow those devices to answer first.
To change the default from 9 rings to 3 rings (3 being less than the number of rings at
which most answering machines pick up):
4.2.15 CALL WAITING TYPE (Function 44)
If the Select Gate has called the house or residence and a call comes in from an outside

the "#" key can switch to the outside call. The call waiting types are shown in the table below:
CALL WAITING TYPE
1 Short Short
2 Short Long
3 Long Short
4 Long Long
To change from the default of Call Waiting Type 1 (Short Short) to Call Waiting Type 3

Select Gate ring detect number to a number higher than those devices require. This will allow
those devices to answer first.
