Help with Ringing?

tazdevil

I manged to get my phones working and I am able to call out, and inbound calls route to the proper phone (using a Magic Jack to one fxo port) so only 1 number in and out currently, multiple phones ring.

sample;

ephone 4
mac-address 000A.B714.4AC8
button 1f8 2:4

How do I configure the phones to stop ringing after like 3 or 4 rings? I do not have a voice mail system, and would like the calls to just drop for now? currently they just appear to ring and ring, I have to pickup the phone and hangup to end the call.

I am running CME 4.1 on a 2650XM with a NM-2V with a 2fxs and 2fxo (1 port currently used, looking to connect the 2port down the road)?

Any help would be appreciated...

You can do a “call-forward noan [non-existent ext #] timeout 10” under the ephone-dn. Basically what this will do is after 10 seconds, try to transfer the call to an extension that doesn’t exist – Calling party would get a busy signal after the ringing timeout period.

Or, after x number of seconds call-forward noan the phone to an actual DN and have it not ring (maybe flash a second button on the phone).

Then there’s always the attach a $10 analog answering machine to an FXS port and send the calls there!

The "timeouts ringing x" command under telephony-services might do the trick as well:
