Survivable Remote EPN/WAN Spare Processor
If an administrator runs the change extension-station command in a configuration where a survivable
remote processor exists, and the command is not run on the survivable processor, when the remote
processor takes control, the extensions that were changed on the server will not exist on the survivable
remote.
Uniform dial plan (UDP)
If an administrator runs the
change extension-station
command, extensions that were typed into
the UDP screen are not updated. The change to the UPD table is handled by external system
management tools that Avaya supports, but it is not changed by this command.
Distinctive ringing
Distinctive Ringing provides several ringing cycles to help telephone users and attendants distinguish
between incoming call types. Administer
Distinctive Audible Alerting
on the Feature-Related System
Parameters screen for internal, external, priority, and attendant originated calls. If the phone is a
single-line analog, you have to set this on the Station screen for each user.
Detailed description
You can administer system-wide distinctive-ringing cycles for the three basic call types. Most
installations use 1-burst for internal calls, 2-burst for external calls, and 3-burst for priority calls. There
are also non-administrable ringing signals for Automatic and Dial Intercom calls, Manual Signaling, and
Redirect Notification.
Normally if an internal phone user transfers an external call, the call rings as internal. You can set a
feature parameter (Update Transferred Ringing Pattern) to make the call ring as an external call.
Considerations
•
If Distinctive Ringing is disabled, the system generates a 1-burst repetitive tone for all incoming
calls. This is useful for equipment interfaced by analog lines, especially if you use off-premises
station.
•
A single distinctive ring cycle is used for each new incoming call to an off-hook telephone or
headset. The system alerts a CALLMASTER terminal with a single ring cycle whenever either
the headset or the handset is plugged into the headset jack.
Interactions
•
Personalized Ringing
The called party hears the user-selected ringing pattern for the distinctive ring cycles.
