Flexible Line Ringing Assignment
Each incoming CO/PBX line that appears on a given station can be programmed to either ring or
not ring at that station. Each CO/PBX line can be programmed to ring at any number of electronic/
digital telephones. Thus, the number of ringing electronic/digital telephones per CO line is limited
only by system size. In the DK424, a maximum of 120 phones can ring at one time.
Each CO line can be programmed to ring the Auto Attendant, night bell, DISA, remote
maintenance modem or any station DN in the system. A different ringing assignment can be
created for each of three ringing modes – Day, Day2 or Night. Also, stations assigned to ring can
do so with any of the following timing designations.
Immediate
Stations assigned Immediate timing ring as soon as the line rings into the system.
Delay 1
If stations with Immediate timing have not answered within 12 seconds (3 rings), stations
assigned Delay 1 timing also begin ringing. Immediate Ring telephones continue to ring when
Delay 1 Ring telephones ring.
Delay 2
If the above stations have not answered within 24 seconds (6 rings), stations assigned Delay 2
timing also begin ringing. Immediate and Delay 1 Ring telephones continue to ring when
Delay 2 Ring telephones ring.
A related feature, Night Transfer, enables programming of up to three different CO line ringing
patterns (Day, Day 2, and Night). The ringing pattern can be controlled by any station programmed
with a Night Transfer button. In tenant service, there are two Night Transfer buttons on DK14 and
DK40i systems and four on the DK424.
If a DK system is being used in tenant service, each tenant can separately define and control three
ringing patterns using the Night Transfer1~4 buttons.
Benefits
Provides the flexibility to define CO ringing arrangements to fit the needs of the business. Calls
can get to their destination quickly. CO/PBX lines can ring directly to a station or group of stations
in a specific department, without going through a central Attendant. This reduces the Attendant
call load and enables better service to callers. Flexible Line Ringing Assignment also enables the
use of private lines in the system, and is used for tenant service.
