    nCall Forwarding All Calls
    If Ringer  Cutoff and  Call Forwarding All Calls are active, the user d oes not 
    receive redirect notification, even if the ‘‘redirection notification’’ is 
    administered for that extension.
    nDistinctive Ringing
    Activation of Ringer Cutoff only turns off the ringing of internal and external 
    calls. Intercom ringing, Priority ringing and Manual Signaling are not 
    turned off by the feature.
    nIntercom (Automatic and Dial)
    Even if the Ringer Cutoff feature has been activated, Intercom calls still 
    ring the user’s voice terminal.
    nManual Signaling
    Even if the Ringer Cutoff feature has been activated, Manual Signaling still 
    rings the user’s voice terminal.
    nRingback Queuin g
    Even if the Ringer Cutoff feature has been activated, the return call for 
    Ringback Queuing still rings the user’s voice terminal.
    nPriority Calling
    Even if the Ringer Cutoff feature has been activated, Priority Calls still ring 
    at the user’s voice terminal.
    nSend All Calls
    When Ringer Cutoff and Send All Calls are both active, the user does not 
    receive redirect notification, even if the redirection notification is 
    administered for that extension.
    nCall Received with Ac tive Call in Progress
    If a new call comes in on a station with an active call on it, and ring cutoff 
    is enabled on the set (with single-ring or continuous-ring enabled for 
    Active Station Ringing), ringing will stop. If the call is still alerting visually 
    and the new call is still active when the ringer cutoff is disabled, ringing 
    will 
    not resume.
    Administration
    The Ringer Cutoff feature is administered on a per-voice terminal basis by the 
    System Manager.  The only administration required is a Ringer Cutoff button, 
    which can be assigned to any multiappearance voice terminal.
    Hardware and Software Requirements
    No a d ditional hardware or software is required.

    Ringing — Abbreviated and Delayed
    Feature Availability
    This feature is available with G3V4 and later releases. It provides ringing options 
    identical to those available with DEFINITY switches G2.
    Description
    What Is Ringing — Abbreviated and Delayed?
    Ringing — Ab breviated and Delayed allows the System Ad ministrator to assign 
    one of four ring types to each primary or bridged call appearance on a voice 
    terminal. Ring types fall into two categories:
    nThose that alert consistently either by ringing or silently alerting, and
    nThose that transition from ringing to silent alerting or vice versa. The 
    transition, known as the Abbreviated/Delayed Transition, can occur 
    automatically based on a system-wide administered interval. Or, it can be 
    manually forced, by pressing an administered Ab breviated Ringing 
    button. The Ab breviated  Ringing button will only force the transition for 
    calls that are alerting for the extension number assigned to the button. 
    Calls to other extensions ringing at the terminal will not be affected.
    For exam ple, a call ap p earance can be administered so that a call will initially 
    alert the terminal by ringing. Then, after the Ab breviated/Delayed Transition, it 
    will alert the station silently without ringing. The  Abbreviated/Delayed Transition 
    occurs either when the Ab breviated Ringing button is pressed, or optionally 
    when the administered Abbreviated/Delayed Transition Interval is reached.
    For Ringing — Abbreviated and Delayed each call appearance must:
    nBe assigned a ring typ e
    nBe administered to transition either:
    — When the Ab breviated/Delayed Transition Interval is reached or 
    when the Ab breviated Ringing Button is pressed
    — Only when the Abbreviated Ring Button is pressed regardless of 
    the Ab breviated/Delayed Transition Interval.

    What Ring Options Are Available?
    One of the following ring typ es can be assigned to each line button.
    Abbreviated Ring
    A call will ring the terminal until the automatic or manual Ab breviated/Delayed 
    Transition occurs. The  call will then silently alert the terminal.
    Delayed Ring
    A call will silently alert the terminal until the automatic or manual 
    Abbreviated/Delayed Transition occurs. The call will then ring the terminal.
    No Ring
    A call will silently alert the terminal regardless of the Abbreviated/Delayed 
    Transition.
    Ring
    A call will ring the terminal regardless of the Abbreviated/Delayed Transition.
    Sample Operation
    Consider the following sc enario. The system is administered with an 
    Abbreviated/Delayed Transition Interval of two rings and with a coverage 
    Number of Rings interval of four rings. Two terminals on the system are set up as 
    follows.

    Terminal Configuration
    When a call arrives at extension 2375 at the first call a p pearance it will begin 
    ringing at Terminal 1 and will silently alert Terminal 2. If it is not answered after 2 
    rings (the Ab breviated/Delayed Transition Interval) it will continue ringing at 
    Terminal 1 and will begin ringing at Terminal 2. If it is not answered after 4 rings 
    (the coverage Number of Rings interval) it will route to coverage.
    When a call arrives at extension 2375 at the second call ap p earance it will begin 
    ringing at Terminal 1 and will silently alert Terminal 2. If it is not answered after 2 
    rings (the Abbreviated/Delayed Transition Interval) it will stop ringing at Terminal 
    1 but will continue to alert silently. It will begin ringing at Terminal 2. If it is not 
    answered after 4 rings (the coverage Number of Rings interval) it will route to 
    coverage.
    If a call arrives at extension 2375 at the second call appearance and the 
    Abbreviated ringing button is pressed, the call will immediately begin ringing at 
    Terminal 2 and will silently alert Terminal 1. If a call were to arrive at extension 
    2376 at Terminal 1 at the same time, it would continue to ring Terminal 1 until the 
    Abbreviated/Delayed Transition Interval was reached despite the fact that the 
    Abbreviated Ringing Button was pressed. The ringing for the call to extension 
    2376 would not change because the Ab breviated Ringing Button is assigned 
    only to extension 2375 calls.

    							Ringing — Ab breviated and Delayed
    Issue  3   March 1996
    3-1071
    If a call arrives at extension 2451 at Terminal 2 it will be gin ringing. Because 
    Automatic Abbreviated/Delayed is set to no, the call will continue to ring at 
    Terminal 2 until the Ab breviated Ringing Button is pressed.
    End-User Operation
    As state d, Ringing — Ab breviated and Delayed can be administered per call 
    appearance to transition automatically or manually. Automatic transition is 
    caused by the administered Ab breviated/Delayed Transition Interval and 
    requires no user action.
    To cause a manual transition the user presses the Ab breviated Ringing b utton on 
    their terminal. Pressing the button forces the Ab breviated/Delayed Transition to 
    occur for all calls to the administered extension. Calls to other extensions alerting 
    the terminal are not affected.
    Sample Application
    In a typical arrangement, for example with an executive and secretary, the 
    primary call ap pearance is assigned a ring type of abbreviated ringing while the 
    bridged call appearance is assigned a ring typ e of delayed ringing. In this way, if 
    the primary user does not answer the call after a certain number of rings, the 
    bridged appearance user is audibly alerted to answer the call.
    In the same scenario, if the primary user is on a call, other calls to that same 
    extension may alert on other call appearances and disturb the conversation 
    taking place. If an Abbreviated Ringing button is administered for the extension, 
    the primary user can press the button and in so doing force the alerting calls to 
    stop ringing at his or her station and start ringing at the brid g ed a p pearance.
    The feature also allows certain bridged appearances to audibly alert at a terminal 
    while other bridged appearances only alert visually.
    Considerations
    If a call appearance is administered for d elayed or abbreviated dialing and is not 
    administered for the automatic Abbreviated/Delayed Transition, an Ab breviated 
    Ringing button must be assigned to the call ap p earance extension on that 
    terminal.
    Ringing — Ab breviated and Delayed c an b e assigned to analog stations whether 
    they are administered as primary or brid ged call appearance sets. However, 
    since analog stations cannot visually alert, a user may unexpectedly answer an 
    incoming call while intending to originate a call.

    Interactions
    With the following features, when the feature attempts to alert a station, the 
    ringing presented to the user is influenced by the ring type translations made for 
    the Ringing — Ab breviated and Delayed feature. Undesirable feature operation 
    may result if these translations are set inappropriately. For exam ple, a ring type 
    of no ringing would result in the station not being alerted audibly.

    nAutomatic Circuit Assurance (ACA)
    nBusy Verification of Terminals

    nNight Service (Unattended Console Service)
    nPersonal Central Office Line (PCOL)
    nPriority Calling
    nRingback Queuin g
    nSecurity Violation Notification
    nTerminating Extension Group
    The following features have a d ditional interactions with Ringing — Abbreviated 
    and Delayed.
    nActive Station Ringing
    Ringing — Ab breviated and Delayed administration determines when a 
    station is au dibly alerted. Active Station Ringing administration determines 
    if the ring is to be p ermitted, shortened to a single ring  cycle, or 
    suppressed. Single Ring timing begins when the call begins to ring at 
    each station that has access to the appearance. In this way, even though 
    a call has been alerting other ringing or abbreviated ringing stations for 
    more than one ring cycle, the delayed ringing stations will have a full cycle 
    of ring in cases where full ringing would normally be applied to an idle 
    station.
    nAdministration Without Hardware
    It is possible to assign Ringing — Abbreviated and Delayed to stations 
    administered without a specified port.
    nAttendant Console
    Ringing — Ab breviated and Delayed c annot be assigned to an attendant 
    console.

    nCall Coverage
    When an alerting c all redirects to coverage, Call Coverage may c ause the 
    call appearance to no longer alert the call a p pearance. In this case the 
    call would not be affected by the Ringing — Ab breviated and Delayed 
    feature. However, timing continues for the Automatic Transition Interval in 
    case no coverage point is available and the call continues to alert at the 
    station.
    If the coverage Number of Rings interval is shorter than the Automatic 
    Transition Interval, the c all will redirect to coverage b efore ringing a station 
    with a ring type of delayed ringing.
    When a call is immediately redirected to coverage (due to Cover Active, 
    Cover All, Cover Busy or Send All Calls), the Ringing — Ab breviated and 
    Delayed feature has no affect.
    nCall Forwarding—Busy/Don’t Answer
    When a call is forwarded because it is not answered in the specified time, 
    the call sto ps alerting the station and so is not affected by the Ringing — 
    Abbreviated and Delayed feature. However, timing continues for the 
    Automatic Transition Interval in case forwarding fails and the call 
    continues to alert at the station.
    If the Call Forward  Don’t Answer Interval is shorter than the Automatic 
    Transition Interval, the call will redirect to the forwarded-to extension 
    before ringing a station with a ring type of  delayed ringing.
    nCall Vectoring—Expert Agent Selection—Logical Agents
    Calls routed to a Logical Agent will use the translations for the Ringing — 
    Abbreviated and Delayed feature of the station being used by the agent.
    nData Extension Calls
    Data Extension calls are not affected by the “Ring” values, but will 
    continue to be directed by the “Bridged Call Alerting?” administration.
    nOPS/OPX Lines
    The ring type assigned to an Off-Premises Extension is forced to a value of 
    ring.
    nDistinctive Alerting (Ringing)
    The Ringing — Ab breviated and Delayed feature will affect all audible 
    alerting using the 1-burst, 2-burst or 3-burst pattern.
    nHospitality Features—Do Not Disturb
    The Do Not Disturb feature takes precedence over the Ringing — 
    Abbreviated and Delayed feature in blocking ringing to the station.
    nIntegrated Services  Digital  Network (ISDN)—World Class Core BRI 
    						
    							Feature Descriptions
    3-1074Issue  3   March 1996 
    Several of the protocol variations supported by the World Class BRI 
    feature d o not permit the messaging required for control of the station’s 
    ringer by Ringing — Ab breviated and Delayed. In this case, ring type is 
    forced to a value of ring.
    nMulti-Appearance Preselection and Preference
    The system will automatically select any alerting call on a station whether 
    or not it is ringing if the “Per Button Ring Control?” field is set to n. If the 
    field is set to y, it will select only ringing calls.
    nPCOL Calls
    PCOL calls are not affected by the “Ring” values, but will continue to be 
    directed by the “Bridged Call Alerting?”  administration.
    nRedirection Notification
    If Redirection Notification is enabled, terminals will only receive redirection 
    notification if the alerting button or first call appearance has an assigned 
    ring value of ring or abbreviated ring. Bridged terminals will only receive 
    redirection notification for a forwarded call if the “Per Button Ring 
    Control?” field is set to y and the call ap pearance has an assigned ring 
    value of ring or abbreviated ring.
    nRinger Cutoff
    Ringer Cutoff takes precedence over Ringing — Ab breviated and 
    Delayed. Pressing the Ringer Cutoff button will turn off audi ble alerting at 
    all call app earances and bridged appearances on the terminal.
    nTEG  C a l l s
    TEG calls are not affecte d by the “Ring” values, but will continue to be 
    directed by the “Bridged Call Alerting?”  administration.
    nTemporary Bridged Appearances
    Temporary Bridged Appearances are not affected by the Ringing — 
    Abbreviated and Delayed feature. They always silently alert a station.
    nVoice Mail Systems
    Voice mail systems may look for ringing applied to a port to trigger call 
    answer. Undesirable adjunct operation may result if ring type translations 
    are inappropriately set for ports serving these adjuncts.

    Rotary Dialing
    Feature Availability
    This feature is available with all Generic 3 releases.
    Description
    Allows rotary dialing voice terminals to b e used with a system.
    When a number is dialed at a rotary dialing voice terminal, the voice terminal 
    outpulses at a rate of 10 pulses per second. Each digit dialed sends out the 
    corresponding number of pulses.  For example, dialing a seven results in seven 
    pulses being sent from the voice terminal. The DEFINITY system Generic 3 
    software recognizes that the voice terminal is rotary when the user lifts the 
    handset, and expects to receive dial pulses instead of tones.
    Considerations
    With Rotary Dialing, existing rotary dialing voice terminals can be use d in 
    situations where very simp le call processing functions are required.
    Any functions requiring the * and # symbols cannot be performed on a rotary 
    dialing voice terminal.
    Interactions
    None.
    Administration
    Rotary Dialing voice terminals must be administered as a 500 set.
    Hardware and Software Requirements
    No a d ditional hardware is required.
