Phone does not ring just flashes - Aastra Telecom 9116 Corded Phone

First prove it is not a faulty handset. Find someone elses phone that is the same model as yours and rings then plug it into your line. If that phone rings your handset is faulty. If the borrowed phone will not ring but flashes then it is programming

Go into the extension programming and change the line settings to no ring. It is best done if you have a display phone so you can see the changes. If not, then you will need to look at the flashing line lights when you enter the programming mode.

Press Feature 00. This will take you into the programming mode. You should see the line buttons lit up green. They will be Solid (Immediate Ring) or Slow Flash (Delayed Ring) or Fast Flash (No Ring). I assume yours is solid so push each line button until it changes to a fast flash. Once done press Feature 00 to exit the system and save the settings.

Changing ringing on a Partner system is done on either ext 10 or 11.
At one of those ext's press the feature key and "00"
Next press the left hand intercom twice
The display should say system programming

Press the right hand intercom once. The display should say Central telephone Programming.

Enter in the extension number that you want to program.

Press the line that you want to ring.
A solid light on the line means immediate ringing
A slow flashing light means delayed ringing (meaning the phone will wait 3 rings before starting to ring.)
A fast flashing light means no ringing.

When finished with that station press the right hand intercom and enter in the next extension to program and set ringing accordingly.

The phone has to be a member of an ICD group and have the ring set to immediate. Since this is a SYSTEM program, I don't think you can change it without the assistance of a programmer.

If you somehow have access, it's changed in programs 620-622. You need to know which group is assigned, usually group 1 put you can find that in 622. Members are set in 620 and the ring delays are in 621.

Message/Ringer Lamp: The Message/
Ringer lamp informs you visually that you
have a message or a call.
When you receive a call, the lamp
flashes depending on the ringing pattern.
When the ringing pattern is set to Single
(Slow flash), Double (Moderate flash), or
Triple (Rapid flash) in your PBX, the lamp
flashes. When the other ringing patterns
are set in your PBX, the lamp may not
flash. (e.g., S-Double, Call Waiting
Tone1).
When someone has left you a message,
the lamp is lit continuously.

Please note that the above indicates that ring patterns are set in the the PBX. These are issues that require a real person to sit at the main system and program the features that users need. I hope you have an I.T. person that knows your phone system. If you don't, you'll have to find a communications company in your area that can program your system. Thanks for using Fixya.

you can try to plug it in at a set that does ring and make sure it wokrs there. The programming should not have changed with the phone but ... anything is possible. If it rings at the other location then it will be the programming for that extension. Also check that it is not in DND do not disturb
