When the line rings instead of being able to just pick up I have to hit the extention now. How do you fix it? Lisa

more than likely your not in the same pick up group as the phone that is ringing. Instead of setting up pick up groups you could use feature 76 (directed pick up) if you know which set is ringing.

You will have to do a little programming to accomplish this. I attached a website to this message that has all the Toshiba manuals. You will have to look at program number 16 for line access and 81 for ringing options. The code to get in program mode is *#*#1*2*3. Hope this helps.

Sets that are programmed to ring should automatically have ringing line preference.

Programming is done on M7310, M7324 and T7316 sets.
To set up ringing you need to enter programming by pressing the feature key followed by **266344.When prompted to enter the password enter 266344.
The screen should say TERMINALS&SETS.
The 4 top line/feature keys are now used for programming.
At the terminals&sets prompt, press the show key (top right arrow).
The display should now ask for an extension number. Enter extension number you wish to program ringing on.
Press the show key (top right arrow)
The display should sat LINE ACCESS
Press the show key (top right arrow) .
The display should say LINE ASSIGNMENT.
Press the show key (top right arrow) .
The display ask for a line number. press list
The display should say line 001: appear only
press the Chng key till it says appear & ring
press next key (lower right arrow)The display should say line 002: appear only
press the Chng key till it says appear & ring
repeat procedure for remailing active lines
press the heading key (top left arrow) til the screen says terminals&sets again

Prime line assignment is also programmed at the terminals&sets prompt.
press the show key (top right arrow). The display should now ask for an extension number. Enter extension number you want to change the prime line on.
Press the show key (top right arrow)
The display should say Line Access
Press the show key (top right arrow)
The display should say Line Assignment
Press the next key (bottom right arrow) .
The display should say Line Pool Access.
Press the next key (top right arrow)
The display should say Prime Line
Press the show key (top right arrow)
Press the Chng soft key till you get to the desired line or pool to pick up on
Press the release key when finished

I have a HP Officejet J6480 All-In-One and needed the answering machine and fax to be on at the same time.  I called the help line at HP and they said I needed another phone line into the home but I tried this and it worked. 
First I got a different phone number for the fax machine - they do this for no charge at my phone company. This is not another physical line into the home - it is just another phone number with a different ring - it rings 2 fast rings for the fax machine instead of the phones regular one ring. I set the answering machine built into the phone to pick up after 4 rings and I set the fax machine to pick up on 2 rings. Be sure to set it so the fax pick up number of rings are less than the answering machine pick up number of rings.  It worked for me. Hope this works for you too.

The statement was supposed to be a solution, not a clarification request.

On extension 10 or 11, press Feature 00, left intercom twice, #506, mode 1, line 01, number of rings 0, do the same for all lines.


#321 to change a number of rings before individual VM picks up

if your phone had set for ringging assignment, u no need to press any key to answer the call.

kindly ask the phone provider the set yr extention for incoming ring assignment

i have 10 extentions but my call ring to all extentions. but the ring to one extentions 101 only plz tell me

Which system do you have? If it is an IP Office, there should be a code built in *30, that will pick up any ringing call

WOW
Ok this post is OLD, but for anyone else having this issue, this is the solution...

There is a programming feature that states: DELAYED RING on certain lines, meaning you can physically see a call coming in to the system (via line flashing), but it will not ring at your desk till something like the 4th ring(hence the name DELAYED ring).

If your set does not ring, and you pick up the heandset, the phone system doesn't know if you want to answer the call -or- you just want to make an outgoing call...
Therefore the Mitel system picks up internal dialtone and waits for you to make the initial reaction (hit 9 for a line out or hit a line that is flashing on the set).

Too change this option, a Mitel Tech is required...
