Tones and Their Meaning
Ringing tones are produced by an incoming call. Feedback tones are those which you
hear through the handset (receiver) or the speaker.
Ringing Tones
• 1 ring — A call from another extension.
• 2 rings — A call from outside or from the attendant.
• 3 rings — A priority call from another extension, or from an Automatic Callback
call you placed.
• ring-ping (half ring) — A call redirected from your voice terminal to another
because Send All Calls or Call Forwarding All Calls is active.
Feedback Tones
• busy tone — A low-pitched tone repeated 60 times a minute; indicates the
number dialed is in use.
• call waiting — One, two, or three beeps of high-pitched tone, not repeated;
indicates an incoming call is waiting to be answered. Number of beeps designates
the source: one for an internal call, two for an outside or attendant call, three for a
priority call.
