Use either Expert Mode on the portal or access the device's onboard web server (depending on which one you have previously used to configure the 202) and use the drop down selector to change the X_DefaultRing for SP2 as in the attached distinct1.png to another number between 2 and 10.  The 10 available cadences are defined as shown in distinctive2.png.  You can probably find one of those other 9 prefefined patterns to your liking.

Remember that you must clear any tick(s) in the box(es) at the right hand end of the line to be able to make changes to that item.  Scroll down and hit 'Submit' after making your change.

Wanting to set up a distinctive ring pattern with line 3 on my Obitalk. As I'm using a basic AT&T phone I'm not confident I can do it although the AT&T phone does have distinctive ringing options; I just don't see how it could be driven by what I do in Obitalk.

In any event, attached is a picture of when I'm in the Expert Configuration. Things are "greyed out." Any ideas on what I can do to set up distinctive ringing?

If I simply can't setup distinctive rings I would like to change setup to not have phone calls come in but allow me to call out by doing the **Phone number. Is that possible?

Read and act on the second paragraph of what I wrote above.

Thanks for your response but I'm not quite getting it.

I can't change the ring tone. The system is greyed out. I think it might have something to do with the exclamation points higher on the page.

Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

I see it now. I thought you had to check one of of the two boxes but you uncheck both and then changes can be made.

Think it will make the device much more useful so thank you very much for your help.
