CIX Ringing

System Availability: All systems

Ring Over Busy

When a digital telephone is busy on a call and then receives an internal or external call on an idle [DN] or line button, the button will automatically flash and ring with Ring Over Busy tone. The tone burst can either be sent two times (three seconds apart) or repeated continuously every three seconds or not sent as a station option. To answer a Ring Over Busy call, the user can hold, transfer or disconnect the existing call.

On Voice First calls to a busy telephone that has an idle [DN], the caller will get busy tone. The caller can then dial the digit 1 to cause the idle [DN] to Ring Over Busy.

Ringing Cadence

With Release 1.3 and higher, you can choose between two different ringing cadences for standard telephone circuits in programming. This option is necessary to accommodate some voice mail and/ or auto attendant devices. This is a system wide option that allows external calls to ring with the traditional one sec. on./three sec. off cadence or optionally with a faster cadence of 0.4 sec. on./.2 sec. off. This option does not apply to digital telephones. If ringing cadence is used, Centrex ring repeat must not be used.
