The CS6719-16 isn't an answering machine. Please give us the make and model of the answering machine on which you'd like to change the number of rings.
The following set up assumes you have one conventional phone line, but two different phone numbers. One being your regular phone number and the other a distinctive ring for your fax machine
If that is what you have then this is how you set up the phone. Its important to know what type of distinctive ring your phone company will send to your phone. If it doesn't work you can talk to them about getting a different one than their default distinctive ring.
2 Set the HP all-in-one to answer incoming calls automatically.
Press the Auto Answer button until the light is on.
3 Change the Answer Ring Pattern setting to the pattern that has been assigned to your fax number by the telephone company, for example, double rings or triple rings. For information on changing this setting, see Change the answer ring pattern (distinctive ringing). Note Your HP all-in-one is factory-set to answer all ring patterns. If you do not set the correct ring pattern assigned to your fax number by the telephone company, your HP all-in-one might answer both voice calls and fax calls or it might not answer at all.
4 (Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to one ring or two rings.
For information on changing this setting, see Set the number of rings before answering. 5 Run a fax test. For information, see Test your fax setup. Your HP all-in-one will automatically answer incoming calls that have the ring pattern you selected (Answer Ring Pattern setting) after the number of rings you selected (Rings to Answer setting). Then it will begin emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine and receive the fax.
If it is easier or you want to know other options which may be more applicable to your phone setup. You can find that information here.

If after changing the number of rings the Auto atendant does not pick up at all, You have to call your phone company and set up the second delay through them. We had the same problem here.
Not sure how to change the number of time it rings but to change your voice message call yourself, put in your pass when it tells you to then press 4. Now press 3. Now press 1. To have a standard greeting with your number press 1, to have one with your name press 2, and to make your own press 3. Hope this helped.
