Distinctive Ringing

There are three aspects of Distinctive Ringing: Ring Mode, Ring Type, and Ring Tone.

Ring Mode

The Ring Mode sets when line keys, Call Pickup keys, and Call Coverage keys ring. The Ring Mode options are:
- Day (during the day).
- Night (at night only).
- Delay (ring day and night after a delay).
- Lamp Only (key flashes but there is no ringing).
The sound of the ringing is set by the Ring Type (below).

Ring Type

The Ring Type is what the ringing sounds like when a particular type of call rings your phone. Line keys, Call Pickup keys, and Call Coverage keys have a default ring type but you can change that to one of three optional types. The optional types are:
- Ring Type "A"
- Ring Type "B"
- Ring Type "C"
Intercom, Group, and Recall ringing each have dedicated Ring Types.
The sound of each Ring Type can be customized by assigning optional Ring Tones (below) to the types.

Ring Tone

Your telephone has 10 preset Ring Tones. Each tone consists of an audible tone repeated in a specific sequence (or cadence). By default, the system assigns unique Ring Tones to Ring Types so you can distinguish the type of incoming call by its ringing sound. If you don't like the ringing sounds, you can change the Ring Tone assigned to the various Ring Types.
