Lines Differrent ring

[lpmorin]

I have an intercom box attached to one of my lines to open a door remotly using the phone. The intercom system does make a different ring (3 short burst) than a standard call. Is there a way to preserve that ringing once the line enters my norstar system (Compact ICS 4.1).

Thanks

unfortunately the answer is no ...from rel 6 onwards you have distinct ring 4 total

lp,

You can upgrade your software to 6.x.

I don't think Norstar 6.1 distinct ringing will solve his problem. But then again I haven't tried it with telco distinctive ringing either.

What you can do is put a ring detector on the line that will listen for the 3 rings and route the call to a different CO port. However these detectors also block Caller ID.
