explosions.

Answering Calls

Special default ring signaling is set for your telephone:

• When you receive an internal call or callback, your
telephone rings once every four seconds (single­tone sequence).

• When you receive an external call, your telephone
rings twice in rapid succession every four seconds
(dual-tone sequence).

• When you receive a call from the entrance telepho­ne, your telephone rings three times in rapid suc­cession every four seconds (triple-tone sequence).

• If a call is waiting, you hear a short tone (beep) every
six seconds.

• When you receive a timed reminder, your telephone
rings twice (double-tone sequence, i.e. long ring fol­lowed by short ring).

The number and/or name of the caller appears on the
display unless suppressed by the caller.
If a name is saved in your HiPath 1200 for the caller’s
station number, it is displayed (if configured by the ser­vice personnel).
The service personnel can also program the system to
display the multi-station number (MSN) dialed in the
case of external calls or the name assigned to the MSN.

Making Calls – Basic Functions

Dialing/Making Calls

You can make free internal calls to all users who are con­nected to the HiPath 1200.
If authorized, you can also make external calls to users
in the public telephone network.

You can get the internal station numbers and ex­ternal trunk access codes from the service per­sonnel.

If this function has been configured (consult ser­vice personnel), your HiPath 1200 automatically
dials the least expensive connection for external
calls (Least Cost Routing LCR). If the least expen­sive connection is not available, the name of the
default carrier or the advisory text "Expensive
connection" appears on the display and you will
hear an alerting tone.
