# Attendant Tone Signaling

## Description

Attendant Tone Signaling lets the attendant send tones over the circuit once a call has been established. The attendant console does not normally transmit tones; however, some applications (such as answering machines) require this type of functionality.

## Conditions and Feature Interactions

- Alert tones (for example, the audible ring for an incoming call) are not presented on the 5540 IP Console when the Tones On feature is invoked. (In this case, a visual alert appears in the Call Waiting Count display.)

## Programming

This feature does not require programming.

## Device Support

All consoles
