How do I change the number of rings before it picks up

The CS6719-16 isn't an answering machine. It will ring until someone answers, some other answering machine picks up, or the caller hangs up.

If you want to change the number of rings before an answering machine picks up, please reply to this post and specify the answering machine.

The CS6619-2 isn't an answering machine. It will continue to ring until someone or something picks up, or the caller hangs up.

To change the number of rings before your answering machine picks up, please consult the documentation for your answering machine.

Either your fax machine is set to answer on more rings then your answering machine is or you dont have the automatic answer key pushed?

Determine how many rings your answering machine picks up on and then change the number of rings to a lower amount on your fax machine. To change the number of rings before picking up the line, press the "menu" key on the fax machine and use the up and down arrows to scroll until you find the "basic fax set up" or the "advanced set up" areas. I am not sure which one will have the number of rings setting. Try looking in both until you find it.

when you see it press "ok" or "enter" get in and change the amount of rings before answering. call your fax machine to make sure it picks up before your answering machine.

This should solve your problem.

Change the answer machine rings to answer number to less than the fax number of rings to answer or increase the number of rings to answer on the fax machine. Would need exact model number of phone system to give more detail on programming steps. Info should be in manuals of phone system and fax machine.

SETTING THE RINGS TO ANSWER

The unit announces the rings to answer. To change,
press NEXT or PREVIOUS. To set and go on to the next
item, press SET.
1. Press and release NEXT or PREVIOUS until the unit
announces and displays the correct number of rings
for the answerer to pick up.
2. Once the rings to answer is set, press SET to enter
the incoming message length menu.

This is done in station administration. F config side of the system. Do you have access to system programming?

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

Pick the phone up earlier it will stop ringing......:-)
