Distinctive ringing

Last Updated : Oct 30, 2014 |

The system uses various ringing sequences to indicate call types. For example, internal and external calls can have different rings, called distinctive ringing.

On analog phones, the distinctive ringing sequences are adjustable. On digital and IP phones, distinctive ringing is fixed as follows:
  • Internal call: Repeated single-ring

  • External call: Repeated double-ring

  • Ringback call: Single ring followed by two short rings

Ringing sequences work with the following call types:
  • Calls returning from park

  • Calls returning from hold

  • Transferring calls

  • Call back when free calls

  • Voicemail ringback calls

This feature is available across both multisite and small community networks.
