Biklabs asked "partner 18 is just the type of set. Can you describe the phone system? 206 modules, 308 ACS?" We have two gizmos that look like big, upturned laptops, with phone jacks thereon, in a big box. The gizmo on the left reads 206 something or other, and the one on the right does include 308 and ACS.

I guess that means, yes.

if you go to the display phone and hit feature 59, that will tell you the version of partner you have.

AHA! It says "P ACS R1.0.1 C01"

Assign it ringing on all lines then give it a dnd button and use it as your ringing toggle , problem solved.

As far as a manual you can download them free from Avaya.com

I'm sorry, Russ, but I have no idea what that means. Are you saying that I can program all of the phones to ring, via the display phone, and then give each a "dnd" button which would turn the ringers on and off? I'd have to set all of the phones upstairs, except the display phone, to off. Is that possible?

Again, my apologies for my idiocy.

At station 10 yes, you can progam any station to do what you want. You can assign a DND button on a button with lights and when you press it and it lights that phone will not hear ringing, when you press it agian and the light goes off it will ring agian If indeed thats the way you want them to work. Give me a call if you would like, number is in my profile or on my link.

That is the link for your System Manual in PDF format.
Page 360 explains the procedure for line ringing options. Since I'm sure you do not have an overlay, when it says to hit the System Program button, hit the left intercom button. when it says to hit Cent. Tel Prog. hit the right intercom button.

All he needed was to be able to turn the ringing on and off at the set he takes downstairs with him to smoke his pipe, We set 13 to ring and gave it a DND button, he is fine now.

You're darned tootin', I'm fine. Thanks again, Russ, and to Touch Tone Tommy who emailed with the same advice you gave me.

It's working like a charm. Thanks, everybody!
