Dial Tone and Ringer Patterns
The FrameMaker telephone system generates different ringer and dial tones,
depending on call conditions.
There are two types of dial tone:
• Internal Dial Tone – A continuous, higher-pitched tone
• External (Outside) Dial Tone – A continuous, lower-pitched tone
There are several types of ringers – all are answered the same way:
• One Ring – Internal (Extension-to-Extension) Calls and when the system
has called your extension to remind you or to notify you about something.
• Two Rings – External Calls
• Distinctive Rings – A different ring tone is provided for up to two
additional Direct Inward Dial (DID) numbers assigned to your telephone
by the system administrator. These numbers do not appear as lines on
your telephone, but ring your prime line with the appropriate ring when
they are dialed.
• Priority Ring – The call screening feature allows users to designate
specific callers as important enough to ring through to their telephone
even if Do Not Disturb is activated. A different ring tone is provided for
calls assigned the Priority Call option. See “Priority Call” on page 46.
Direct Extension Assignment
This feature lets you program another telephone in the same corporate system to
be your telephone. For example, you are visiting a branch office for an extended
business trip and you want to program a “guest” telephone to ring as your
telephone while you are there. This feature requires your old phone and the “new/
guest” phone to be the same type of phone.
Programming a Guest Phone
To program a guest phone to act as your phone, follow these steps:
1. From the guest /new phone, dial 588 (or the code provided by your system
administrator). You are prompted to enter the telephone number which you
want that phone to be (Presumably, your “original/old” phone number).
2. Enter your complete 10-digit telephone number, followed by the # key. You
are prompted to enter a password. The password default is the last four digits
of the phone number entered in this step.
3. Enter your password, followed by the # key. The phone is now programmed
to be your phone and your old phone is removed from service.
