Distinctive Ringing

Use this feature to determine whether calls should ring at a tip/ring extension using the system’s different distinctive ringing patterns for outside, intercom and transferred calls (distinctive ringing active)or whether all calls should ring like outside calls (distinctive ringing not active).

•	Change the setting to Not Active if a tip/ring 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 with both a system telephone and a tip/ring device, the system telephone continues to use the system’s distinctive ringing patterns, but all calls ring at the tip/ring device using a single ring burst.
