From what I understand, it indicates that a snake is possibly het for pied. It's not a guarantee, just seems to increase the likelihood. I don't breed snakes, so hopefully someone who knows for certain will chime in.
My understanding is that a ringer is just a mark that can be genetic or it can be random like paradox. While they do seem to be more common in pied lines they are not uncommon in other morphs as well. There is a champagne line known for its ringers as well.
Someone will more information please chime in!

I believe Dave Green has the Ringer Champs and they are extreme ringers. Makes them almost look like they carry the pied gene.

Any snake with a pure white area or ring, typically near the tail end of the snake, can be called a ringer. They seem to pop up randomly from time to time in ball pythons; however, in my experience, het pieds, fires, cinnamons and champagnes seem to have more of a chance of being ringers. As far as a ringer being a het pied it's almost like the "pied markers", a het pied can be a ringer but it doesn't mean a ringer is a het pied.
