Adding a rule to increase ring time to Incoming Call Manager
Setting the ring duration requires its own dedicated rule. In this article you will be shown how to set up a simple ring duration, a ring duration for a specific number, and a ring duration that will ring multiple phones.
For this example you will be shown how to set up a ring duration that all calls will follow.
Begin by logging into your MyAccountportal,
Click on the Call Forwarding link and then on the Rule tab.
|
|
Highlight the default rule and click on Edit Rule. When editing the rule select the radio button ring more than one phone, then click on the Forward button
|
|
Since this will be the default rule for all calls, you will want to put in the Phone Power number as the phone number. For this example the ring time will be 20 seconds.
Click on the Add button to add it to the list.
Set End to 20 via the dropdown.
When you’re done click Finish.
|
|
- NOTE: To determine a rough estimate of how many times the phone will ring, divide the number of seconds by 6.
The next example will show you how to set a rule so that when a particular contact or contact group calls, they will ring for a longer duration than other callers. For this example, let’s say that you want your mother to ring longer than normal callers.
Click on the Add Rule button,
Enter in the contact under Contact or Group
Click on Forward when finished.
|
|
Next, click on the radio button ring more than one phone
Click Forward.
|
|
Enter in the Phone Power number as the number that will follow this rule.
Click on the Add button to add it to the list
Click Finish when done.
As you can see in the screen shot, this call will ring 10 times.
|
|
When the rule populates the Rule Set, click on Save to retain the changes.
|
|
You can also set a particular contact or group to ring multiple destinations at the same or different times.
Click on the Add Rule button
Name the contact or contact group
Click on Forward.
|
|
Select ring more than one phone
Click on Forward.
|
|
You can enter in different phone numbers that can ring at the same or different times. Be sure to add the number to the list and then click on Finish when done.
