FAQ:
Q: Why do my Staff Receive Email messages for our School Bells?
A: When configuring your Ring lists, you have an "Overrides Distribution List" option. This should be DHH only. the "Mobile Devices" is for Email communications.
Q: Why do I hear Bell/ Tones from my VoIP Phone?
A: Sites were not engineered from the beginning to exclude VoIP Phones from the Bells notifications. A Device group needs to be created, similarly for Shower Bell Device Groups.
