Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual

This System Programming procedure determines whether calls should ring at a
standard device using the system’s distinctive ringing patterns—different
patterns for outside, intercom, and transferred calls—or whether all calls to the
standard device should ring like outside calls.

■

■

■

Change the setting to Not Active if a standard device such as a modem or
answering machine does not pick up intercom or transferred calls.

If distinctive ring is set to Not Active for an extension where both a system
phone and a standard device are installed, the system phone continues to
use the system’s distinctive ringing pattern, but all calls ring at the standard
device using a single ring burst.

The system does not pass distinctive ringing patterns generated by a PBX
or central office through to extensions (regardless of the setting for this
feature).

1 = Active (outside, intercom, and transferred calls ring differently using the

system’s distinctive ringing patterns)

2 = Not Active (outside, intercom, and transferred calls all ring using a

single ring burst)
