Does this switch allow an incoming CO call to ring _all_ extensions? This was the reason I abandoned my 'residential' pbx (a Seimens Venus). Night bells and call pickup don't go over well in a house.

This unit has two trunk lines and 12 extensions, with various PBX features. Two extensions ring by default for the two trunks, but 'call forwarding' allows the trunks to ring on whatever two extensions you designate. There is common audible of course, and universal pickup by dialing '7'. I used one of these for about three years before I got my Starline installation. PT]
