Dial Tone and Ringer Patterns
The VOISS telephone system generates different ringer and dial
tones, depending on call conditions.
There are four types of ringers – all are answered the same way:
• One Ring -- Internal (Extension-to-Extension) Calls and
when the VOISS system has called your extension to
remind you or to notify you about something.
• Multiple Rings -- External Calls
• Distinctive Rings - A different ring tone is provided for up
to two additional DID numbers assigned to your telephone
by the system administrator. These numbers do not
appear as lines on your telephone, but ring your prime line
with the appropriate ring when they are dialed.
• Priority Ring - The Personal Attendant Manager (call
screening feature) allows users to designate specific
callers as important enough to ring through to their
telephone even if they have Do Not Distrub activated. A
different ring tone is provided for calls assigned the priority
call option.
Making an External Call
Several options exist for you to make an external call from your
telephone. You may use any of the following options: the handset
(traditional), the speakerphone, or the keypad (direct dialing).
…using the Handset
1. Lift the handset.
2. Press 9 (or the digit that is required to access an outside line).
An outside line is automatically selected.
