Dial Type Selection
Description Allows you to select the desired dialing mode for each CO line
regardless of the type of extension originating the call (pulse or
tone).
There are three dialing modes available:
DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency) Mode
The dialing signal from an extension, either in tone or pulse,
is converted to tone dialing. DTMF signals are transmitted to
the CO line.
Pulse Dial (Rotary) Mode
The dialing signal from an extension, either in tone or pulse,
is converted to pulse dialing. Pulse signals are transmitted to
the CO line.
Call Blocking Mode
Set this mode on CO lines that can receive both tone and
pulse, but under contract with the Central Office for pulse
dialing only. When dialing to the line using an MF4
telephone, only pulse signals are sent to the Central Office.
Conditions • It is possible for the extension user to temporarily convert the pre-
assigned pulse dialing mode to DTMF mode (Pulse to Tone
Conversion). DTMF mode cannot be changed to pulse.
• In case a CO line can receive both DTMF and pulse signals and is
contracted for DTMF with a Central Office, DTMF mode should be
selected for the line. If it is contracted for pulse dialing mode, Call
Blocking mode should be selected for the line.
• If a line is assigned Pulse Dial mode, select an appropriate pulse speed,
pulse break ratio, and inter-digit pause for the line, if needed. If a line is
assigned DTMF, select an appropriate DTMF duration for the line, if
needed.
• After a held call is retrieved, the dial mode goes back to the one
originally programmed on the CO line.
