Usage

Alarms provide an audible alert telling you of the arrival of an incoming call at your Netrix.

You can select which lines you wish to alarm, but only on personal keypages. On shared keypages, the system administrator will configure the alarms.

Your alarms settings follow you if you log on to a different Netrix. All changes are saved automatically. If you log out of your Netrix all alarms are suppressed.

Three different menus are provided for the setting up and applying of alarms on keys on personal keypages:

•the alarms menu allows you to select whether or not alarms are heard on incoming calls for specific call types.

•the assign alarms menu allows you to set alarms on individual keys or complete keypages.

•the edit profile menu where you can modify Alarm Profiles. An Alarm Profile is selected before alarming keys. The attributes of an Alarm Profile make up the audible alert heard on receipt of an incoming call.
