User Feature

Description

(See the operational directions for MULTIPLE TERMINAL SERVICE (PARALLEL RINGING))

Definition

The ability for a user to have three voice extensions (grouped as a parallel ringing list) that ring simultaneously when the user receives an incoming call. The incoming call can be answered by any of the extensions.

Settings

Parallel ringing lists are set by the administrator.

Procedure and function

Parallel ringing has the following characteristics:

  • A call to a parallel ringing list is made through the main extension number.
  • A call made to a secondary extension on the parallel ringing list, will not initiate parallel ringing.
  • An extension cannot be defined in more than one parallel ringing list.
  • When a call is made to the parallel ringing list it is possible to transfer the call to a secondary extension, or to the main extension.
