Frequently asked questions

support a dial pause.

Dial tone: Devices which recognize a dial tone are usually set for a continuous tone (Deusche Telekom). Private branch exchanges, however, use another tone (intermittent tone) to distinguish between external and internal dialing. If this causes problems, particu- larly with fax machines, the device’s dial-tone detector must be switched off. Most devices support a “behind PBX” option to allow for this situation. You should choose this setting if it is supported by your fax machine.

●Ringer frequency of the Gigaset 2060isdn: 25 Hz, square-wave voltage, must be recognized by the connected device.

●If you encounter sporadic transmission problems, it is advisable to set the device type ID to “NEUTRAL” (➔ page 95)

10.Answering machines

Can I transfer a call away from the analog port (0 or 9)?

●No provision is made for this function.

11.Music on hold

Can I suppress music on hold?

●No, the audio signal is provided by the network provider “please hold the line” and cannot be suppressed.

●Point-to-multipoint access, music on hold and announcement are from the network provider.

●Point-to-point access, and melody for hold come from Gigaset.

12.Parking (call transfer on bus)

Each ISDN connection can be parked free. The parked user hears music on hold (see above). When you park a call you must enter a one-digit or two-digit code as suffix. This code is the au- thorization that will subsequently enable you to unpark the call.

Each ISDN user at any registered mobile unit can unpark the call, in other words enter the code

and answer the call. This mode of call transfer on the S0 bus is free. A call can be parked for a maximum of 3 minutes. The connection is cleared down if the call is not unparked within this three-minute period.

●You can use this mode, for example, to transfer a call from a mobile unit to an ISDN tele- phone.

●Deusche Telekom calls this feature “transfer on bus”.

13.Private branch exchange behind Gigaset 2060isdn

What restrictions apply if I connect an analog PBX behind the Gigaset 2060isdn?

●Broadly speaking, a PBX should always be considered as a telephone circuit. Systems of this

nature must have a flash for external connections (e.g. ANIS call) or else they can be used only with pulse dialing. Another restriction is that dial-tone detection must be switched off,

➔page 95.

There should be no restrictions with regard to incoming calls, but the piggyback solution de- scribed above imposes restrictions on outgoing functionality. The Gigaset 2060isdn was not designed as a subsystem-compatible unit.
