Ringing Patterns
Standard phones have these ringing patterns:
An outside call will
ring . . . ring . . . ring.
An intercom call will
ring-ring . . . ring-ring . . . ring-ring.
A transferred call, or an unanswered transferred or parked call that is
ringing back, will
ring-ring-ring . . . ring-ring-ring . . . ring-ring-ring.
NOTE:
If you use the system with PBX or Centrex lines, the PBX/Centrex distinctive
ringing patterns are not passed to phones. Telephones use the ringing patterns
described here instead.
Dial Tones
Standard phones have two different dial tones:
Outside dial tone
is generated by your local telephone company to
indicate that you are connected with an outside line.
Intercom dial tone
is generated by the system to indicate that you are
connected with an inside line. You hear this dial tone when you are
making an inside, or
intercom, call.
To hear the difference between the two dial tones, lift the handset. The dial tone
you hear (assuming the phone is set to select intercom first, as recommended in
this guide) is an intercom dial tone. To hear an outside dial tone, press

.
Using the Switchhook
Some of the call-handling instructions in this guide direct you to “rapidly press
and release the switchhook.” Pressing the switchhook for 1/4 to 1 second sends
a signal over the line called a
switchhook flash. However, do not press the
switchhook
too quickly. If you press the switchhook and nothing happens, try
again and press it a
little longer.
NOTE:
If your feature phone has a button labeled “Recall” or “Flash,” use the button
instead of pressing the switchhook. If you use the system with PBX or Centrex
lines, your PBX or Centrex documentation may tell you to press the switchhook
to access PBX or Centrex features. Use the Recall feature instead (see “Recall”
in Chapter 5).
Limitations
Each standard device requires one touch-tone receiver to be available in order
to dial a call (intercom or outside) or to activate a feature using a code. Each
PARTNER ACS processor module has two touch-tone receivers; each 206
module has one touch-tone receiver; each 400 module has two touch-tone
receivers. The combination of modules in your system determines the number of
standard devices that can
dial simultaneously. For example, if you have one
PARTNER ACS processor module, two 206 modules,and two 400 modules, eight
standard devices can dial out at the same time. If nine standard devices try to
