The administrator has also enabled the DelayedRinging feature on the manager’s telephone and has specified 4 rings (atypical setting).When a call comes in to the manager on that extension, the assistant’stelephone rings 4 times before the call audibly rings on the manager’stelephone. Even during the first silent rings, the line’s status light on themanager’s telephone flashes, allowing the manager to answer the call ifrequired.Using Pulse Dialing In some locations, analog telephone users must dial telephone calls usingpulse dialing instead of tone dialing (also called Dual Tone MultiFrequency, or DTMF, dialing).Your administrator must configure the Analog Line Card ports for pulsedialing.
