Can I change ring types per line appearance... 2

[KMCGRATH]

...on an M2616 set? I do not believe so, but just need this verified. I think the class of service (DRG1, for example) handles the type of ring for all lines on a set.

Hi
yes thats it

there is a way to set that on up a per line bases, but i'm not in the same room as my switch. it's a little involved but do-able, if you have the right pkg. the cls drg does dist ring per set.. you can also do dist ring, giving external calls a different ring then internal

Interesting, johnpoole. I am not sure if we have the latest and greatest software on our Option 81c to do this. I think we are on version 25.

What package would you need to do this on a per line bases. I have a request for this and it would be nice if I could do it.

Thanks

 

[johnpoole]

i'll glance at my notes on that wheni'm back in the switch room. i may add it to my switch anyway, there is a need for it at my site.. another ringing option is to have a phone that gives a unique ring when internal calls are placed from it.

You can have a distinctive ring per DN appearance but you need to have package 185.

The CLS on the set would then need to be changed to DRDA (distinctive ringing by DN allowed) and when setting up the keys (SCR's/MCR's) you are given other prompts DRNO and DRNI.

This is separate from the CLS DRG1

This question has come up at my site, along with setting TDD.

Once I set DRDA, how do I use DRNO and DRNI to set the ring on each key?

When a number of similar telephone sets are situated in close proximity it can be difficult to identify which phone is actually ringing if they all have the same ring sound. The Meridian 1 system provides four different ringing cadences which may be assigned to digital sets. The four can best be described in terms of frequency (pitch) and rate of change as follows:-

DRG Pitch and Rate of change

1 High and Fast

2 High and Slow

3 Low and Fast

4 Low and Slow

Note :

The distinctive ringing groups 3/4 are different for M2006 and M2008.

Note: On some analogue sets it is possible to change the ringing sound by changing a switch setting on the phone itself.

The Meridian 1 system can also be programmed to ring extensions differently for internal and external calls. This is set up by BT personnel and is set on a system wide basis.

Feature Implementation

The Class of Service is set to identify which of the 4 ringing cadences should be applied to the TN.

Example

This example shows how DRG3 has been assigned to digital TN

- DNRO (0)-4 Distinctive Number Ringing index for outgoing calls.
- DNRI (0)-4 Distinctive Number Ringing index for incoming calls.

 

[NastyNed2]

Thanks Nortellian. I'll try it this afternoon. Zog, your example is for dist ringing for the whole set. I'm being asked to provide dist ring per LINE.

Thanks to both.

 

[johnpoole]

don't get confused, that ring is per call type, not per line appearence, you can change a route to dist ring.. there is also a class mark for the bosses set so that when he calls you get a unique ring, makes it easy to ignore. i don't have to walk over to the set to ignore his clid

John-

I have to say I am confused at this point. I set a couple of phones that have several DN appearances to use DRNO and DRNI. I tried all settings 0 through 4, with DRNO and DRNI both the same per each DN on the phone. Then I called each line, both from an inside DN and from an outside line (my cell phone). Some lines ring the same; some ring different. I didn't have time Friday to see which was which, but as I think about it now, most were DID DNs on each phone but at least one was a non-DID (internal only). Maybe that's the only one that rang different.

I have a couple of secretaries who work across the room from their desk sometimes. They only have to answer certain lines on their phones, and would like to be able to tell which line is ringing without going around the end of their office furniture to get a look at the display.

I set TDD for them so they get caller id on a ringing line while they're on the phone. They're quite happy with that.

 

[johnpoole]

ok, the set itself, no. the lines sound the same, the ring i was talking about is per call type..ie my phone has a unique ring, one for local, one for tie trunks, one for ld, and yet another ring for the when the boss calls
