Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual

This System Programming procedure activates or deactivates Abbreviated
Ringing at the system phone at a specific extension. When a user is on a call
and Abbreviated Ringing is active, any incoming calls ring only once. The
green light next to the line or pool button flashes until the call is answered or the
caller hangs up (or for a transferred call, until it returns to the transfer return
extension). This feature prevents incoming calls from distracting users when
they are busy on another call. To allow calls to ring repeatedly, set Abbreviated
Ringing to Not Active.

Abbreviated Ringing typically is set to Not Active for receptionists and
others who handle many calls quickly, so they have an audible reminder of

incoming calls.

Abbreviated Ringing applies to outside, transferred, and intercom calls.

The volume of an abbreviated ring is lower than a normal ring.

Calls to a busy extension ring at a lower volume than normal even if

Abbreviated Ring is set to Not Active.
