Ringer Cutoff
Ringer Cutoff allows multiappearance telephone users to turn audible ringing 
signals on and off. This feature does not affect visual alerting. 
When this feature is enabled, only Priority ring (by default 3-burst), Redirect 
Notification, Intercom ring, and manual signaling ring at the telephone. Internal 
and external calls do not ring.
The following table summarizes which calls are affected by Ringer Cutoff.
NOTE:
If Call Coverage is set to Cover All and Ringer Cutoff and Redirect 
Notification are both active, then Redirect Notification is received. If 
Redirect Notification is not active, no audible alerting is received.
A user may not wish to be disturbed by the arrival of incoming calls, yet not want 
calls to be redirected immediately to coverage. For example, an executive may 
want a secretary to answer calls before they redirect to coverage. The bridging 
user (the secretary) is not affected by the executive’s activation of Ringer Cutoff.
If a primary extension and all other users with bridged appearances of the primary 
extension activate Ringer Cutoff, an incoming call silently alerts all of the 
telephones and then redirects to coverage.
