7.2.23Ringing On Busy (Enhanced Subdued Ringing)Description:
When a telephone is busy on a call and another call comes to that telephone, the system subdues
the ringing of the second call to a lower volume but allows the call to continue to ring at this
subdued volume until the caller abandons it. The system shortens the ringing of another call to
model 
8024S, 8124S, 8012S, and 8112s speakerphones that are busy in the speakerphone mode
to one quick tone burst; however, if these telephones are busy in an off-hook manner
(non-speakerphone mode), the system still subdues the ringing of the second call to a lower
volume and allows the call to continue to ring at this subdued volume until the caller abandons
the call.
If a user does not wish to hear subdued ringing while he or she is busy on a call (even the one
quick tone burst on those particular models that provide it) you can take this programming
action to eliminate all ringing by a second call.Programming:

7.2.31Extended DTMF DialingDescription:
You can enable the extended DTMF length dialing feature on a per station basis with this
programming procedure. The system generates DTMF tones of extended length when users take
their telephones off-hook and then wait until after the system sounds the extended 
dialing tone
burst before they engage automatic dialing. This feature also allows an analog station to
generate extended DTMF tones when its user manually dial numbers at the telephone’s dial pad
after hearing an extended 
dialing tone burst. Since digital telephones generate a DTMF tone for
as long as the user holds the dial pad button down during manual dialing, this feature is onlyapplicable on automatically dialed numbers at digital telephones. Refer to the following
paragraph for the procedure that sets the time length of the DTMF tone.Programming:
1 e Press CONTROL T for main menu.
2. From main menu, select stations and press ENTER.
3. From stations menu, select station programming and press ENTER.
4. Type personal intercom number or previously assigned name and press ENTER.

9. Repeat steps 
4-10 for each station or press ESCAPE to end.DTMF Extended Dialing (Tone Length)
Description:
Use this programming feature to set the length of the DTMF tones. The system generates
DTMF tones of extended length when users take their telephones off-hook and then wait until
after the system sounds the extended dialing tone burst before they engage automatic dialing
(for example, press speed dial buttons or saved number redial button) at their stations. Also, if
analog telephone users take their telephones off-hook and then wait to begin manually dialing
until after the system sounds the extended dialing tone burst, the system will 
entend the length
of the manually dialed DTMF tones. After setting this extended DTMF tone length, you must
use the procedure detailed directly above to enable the feature’s use at each station where it is
needed.Programming:
1. Press CONTROL T for main menu.
2. From the main menu, select system and press ENTER.
3. From the system menu, select timing and press ENTER.
