3com SuperStack 3 NBX Manual De Usuario

You can define a ringing progression for a line that is mapped to multiple 
telephones. For example, you can configure a call to ring immediately at 
telephone 1, begin ringing at telephone 2 after 4 rings, and then begin 
ringing at telephone 3 after 8 rings. Any of the telephones can pick up 
the call at any time, even if it has not yet started audibly ringing at a 
particular telephone. (The light flashes during all rings.)

Delayed ringing is useful for backup coverage on shared lines, such as for 
secretaries who must cover each other’s lines.

Additional considerations:

■

The first telephone and each succeeding telephone in a delayed 
ringing pattern continue to ring until the call is answered or 
transferred to the Auto Attendant. 

■

Telephones belonging to a delayed ringing pattern do not need to 
belong to the same group. As long as all the telephones have the 
same line mapped, you can create the delayed ringing pattern.

To create a delayed ringing pattern:

1 Use the Group Button Mappings feature of the NBX NetSet utility to map a 

CO line. See 

 on 

.

2 Set Ring to Yes.

3 Clear the Lock check box.

4 In the NBX NetSet - Main Menu window, click Device Configuration.

5 On the Telephones tab, choose the second telephone in the progression 

of telephones where you want to create the Delayed Ringing pattern, and 
then click the Button Mappings button.

6 For the shared line appearance button, set the Ring box to the behavior 

that you want.

To have the telephone begin ringing after one ring, select 

1;

 after two 

rings, select 

2

. Select 

No

 to disable ringing entirely. (The indicator light still 

functions to indicate ringing/call status.) Do not change the settings in 
the Type, Number, and Prty boxes. 

7 Repeat the procedure for each telephone in the Delayed Ringing pattern, 

taking care to set the Ring delay to create the appropriate delay for each 
extension.
