You can remove your name from the dial-by-name directory if you want only
callers who know your extension to call you. You can also specify whether or not
the dial-by-name directory reads your extension to callers.

To customize your dial-by-name listing

1.

Choose

Tools > Options

. The Options dialog box opens.

2.

On the General tab, uncheck

List in dial-by-name directory

to remove

yourself from the directory. If checked, callers can dial you by name.

3.

If you choose to be listed in the dial-by-name directory, you can check

Play extension to the caller

to have Strata CS read your extension to

callers who find you by using the dial-by-name directory. Callers hear
“Transferring to <your voice title> at extension <your extension>.”

If unchecked, callers who find you by using the dial-by-name directory
hear only “Transferring to <your voice title>.”

Customizing how long your phone rings

You can specify how long a call rings your phone before it proceeds to the next
step on your routing list (in most cases, the next step is your voice mail).

1.

Choose

Tools > Options

.The Options dialog box opens.

2.

Click the General tab.

3.

In the

Ring duration

field, enter the number seconds your phone should

ring before a call proceeds to the next step on your routing list.

4.

Click

OK

.

Note:

Caller ID is transmitted after the second ring. If your phone supports caller

ID, you may want to increase this setting so that there is enough time for caller ID
to be displayed and read before the call is sent to the next step on the routing list.

Changing ring patterns

You can change how your phone rings when you receive an incoming call. You
can set different ring patterns for internal and external calls.

1.

Choose

Tools > Options

. The Options dialog box opens.

2.

Click the Phone tab.

3.

Under

Ring patterns

, select the type of ring that you want for

Internal

calls

and

External calls

. The “Splash ring” settings create a group of

short rings followed by a pause.

To test a ring pattern, click the button to the right of the drop-down list.
