FX-II 96 with 17E Features.

Day mode lines 1-8 direct ring many stations then Auto Attendant on 4th ring. (VM Blade - ext. 50)

Nights works fine.

I want to increase Day Ringing Delay to 6 rings to the A/A.

I saw some references to the delayed ring timer... where is that in VMMI?

Thanks!

Increase rings from 4 to 6

Adjusting Delay Ringing was only available on the DSU/DSUII. Believe me, I've asked for that on more than one occasion. That, and the ability to have separate RNA destination settings for each extension, to separate day and night.

An alternative would be to use a ring group. That CAN be adjusted, but there are drawbacks to using the ring group over delayed ringing.

You might actually try eliminating the delayed ringing, but keep the direct ringing. Then try also programming direct ringing to the ring group, which contains the same members, allows multiple calls, queueing, etc. There may be some negative effects to doing that, so be sure to test multiple scenarios, including all phones busy. The idea is that your direct ringing would cause the extensions to ring, but then the Overflow timer in the Ring Group would force the call to ring to the desired location after the desired length of time.

Let us know how it works out.

JBS, that would only work if the idea was to affect the individual station's Call Forward RNA setting. I may be wrong, but I got the impression that doctordialtone was asking about changing the number of rings for Delayed Ringing (C.O. ringing, such as Direct, Delayed, Night).

Granted, you could probably make it work using CF RNA, and Forward ALL CALLS, and then making up a translation in the trans.txt, but I'm not sure that's what was being asked about.

Right 5 years....

I want the A/A to answer after 6 rings on days.(without trans.txt editing)

Thanks for the tips!
