Outside calls blinking, but not ringing #533209 08/17/12 04:23 AM

When a call comes in, the light indicates the line is active and blinks, but does not ring. After a few rings, the call is picked up by our auto-attendant and then will correctly ring through an extension if selected within the auto-attendant. I am not sure what event triggered this behavior. I assume this is a programming issue. How do I go about turning this feature back on? I have no experience with this phone system. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try pressing the button to change ring mode. It has three modes (day/night/special). It may be be in an alternate mode. Tip and ring, the work of the devil!

To add a little more detail to A6 - The DND button on the attendant really isn't a DND button. It is a D/N/S or Day/Night/Special button. So unless a different ring assignment has been programmed for each mode, the default for D/N/S is to only ring station 100. To make all your phones ring, you need a Vodavi tech to do some programming. Last edited by MNDAVE; 09/05/12 04:36 AM. - Dave S. - You can never appease your ideologue opponents.
