SYMPTOMS
Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) client dial-in connections are always answered on the first ring. You cannot configure Terminal Server to answer after a different number of rings.

In Windows 2000, you can use the following registry entry to configure the number of rings:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\Parameters\NumberOfRings

This entry has no effect in Terminal Server.



CAUSE
The Telephony API services in Terminal Server do not check the configuration data in the registry setting listed in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section.



To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Windows 2000. This problem was first corrected in Windows 2000 Service Pack 2.
