How do I make it so that my phone rings first and then if not answered by the third ring, it will then ring everyone else's phone in the office? In other words, I'm the primary person to answer the phones. I don't want the entire office to hear phones ringing, UNLESS I'm unavailable to take the call (by, say, the 3rd or 4th ring).

Why not ask Comdial customer support

Not all everyone's caller information is displayed all the time. Differing telephone systems and central office equipment may not be compatible.

Also, the CID data is sent between the first and second ring - if a ring phone is picked up to soon after the 1st ring, the CID data is not sent - let it ring at least twice.

Lastly, make sure you have subscribed to the service.

It is in your personal settings. In there you an set up an individual ring for everyone on you call list.
