Is there a workaround to adding more ring cycle options?

[chippowell]

We're already using the three ring cycle options: CFN/DFN for 2, 3, and 4 rings. Some users are asking for longer ring cycles now. God forbid NorVaya give us more than three options, but is there a workaround?

For example, the user has a 3904 phoneset, and I thought about giving him a ring cycle of 3, than having the incoming call hunt up to another line on his phone, ring three more times, then go to his CallPilot voice mailbox. I'm unable to make that work, however. Is there something simple I'm missing to accomplish this? Or can anyone think of another workaround?

Thanks!

As far as I know, there are still only the 3 options that are available.

If it's working, then leave it alone!.

Nope, 3 options is all you get. Actually more than most phone systems will give you.

I was on the right track with this:

Had to MARP his Line 2 on a spare analog TN, software only (phantom wouldn't work), add FTR FDN to voice mail, then change his original phone to Hunt/FDN to his line 2 instead of voice mail. Added his Line 2 to his CallPilot mailbox, all seems to be working.

BTW - changing the CFNA will be system wide.
