Programming for Ring Monitoring
Using VMMI programming, installers can arrange for a monitored station to have a maximum of
four monitoring stations (one boss monitored by four secretaries). The system permits one
monitoring station to monitor up to 16 different monitored stations (one secretary monitoring up to
16 bosses).
Under STATION/STATION PROGRAMMING/RINGING ASSIGNMENTS, click Ring
Monitor then select up to four stations to monitor the ringing of the station being programmed. The
system permits each of these installer-selected stations to serve as a monitoring station for up to 16
monitored stations.
If installers wish to enhance the ring monitoring feature with a recall feature, they check the Recall
Ring Monitor box. If enabled, this feature only applies to Ring Monitoring. The Recall Ring
Monitor enhancement is the default setting for a station.
Note that the copy station procedure will not copy ring monitor capability except for the Recall Ring
Monitor setting.
Operating a Ring Monitoring Arrangement
Whenever a monitored telephone rings for a call, the associated DSS/BLF on a monitoring station
flashes. The display on a monitoring station matches the display on its monitored station. The orange
flash indicates to a monitoring phone which of its monitored stations is currently ringing. If more
than one monitored station is ringing, the call with the highest ring priority rings at a monitoring
station.
A ring monitor signal appears as an orange flashing light for the DSS/BLF of the monitored station
rather than appear at the monitoring station’s personal hunt list; however, after the monitoring user
answers, the call does appear under the monitoring station’s hunt list. The ring monitoring feature
does not require that a monitoring station have a DSS/BLF for a monitored station; however, if a
DSS/BLF is available, it indicates an audible ring monitor event as detailed above.
Users can forward a ring monitoring event; however, that event only follows the Forward All setting
for the monitoring station. The station must be idle (that is, not ringing from any other ring monitor
events) when users forward their ring monitored calls. When users cancel call forwarding on
forwarded stations, only new ring monitor events will ring at the station.
Detailing Certain Ring Monitoring Operational Rules
•
OAI applications receive normal ringing but stop any ringing for monitoring stations.
•
Voice announce calls will not trigger ring monitoring operation.
•
Zone paging will not trigger ring-monitoring operation.
•
PC Attendant (Total Control) software does not support any ring monitoring functionality.
•
Networking System software does not support ring-monitoring across nodes
