Selecting Tone or Pulse Dialing Mode

In the Dialing Mode box:

:Choose Tone if your telephone has touch-tone capability (factory setting).

:Choose Pulse if it does not.

Switching from Pulse to Tone Dialing

There may be times when you want to switch your Dialing Mode from Pulse to Tone while dialing a fax number`for example, if you want to enter a credit card number after dialing the fax number. You can do this by entering an asterisk (*) in the fax number. For example, if you wanted to send a fax to the number (111) 222-3333, and then switch to Tone dialing to enter a credit card number, you would enter the fax number as "111 222 3333 *."

You can use the "*" switch in Speed Dial entries and numbers you dial from the front panel (for paper faxes), and in Eclipse FAX SE phonebook entries and fax numbers you type in the Send Fax dialog box (for PC faxes).

This feature works only if your Dialing Mode has been set to Pulse (see "Selecting Tone or Pulse Dialing Mode," above). You cannot switch the other way around, from Tone to Pulse dialing.

Setting Automatic Redial

The Automatic Redial setting controls whether or not your fax numbers are automatically redialed in the event of a busy signal. The factory setting is that your fax numbers are redialed automatically (Automatic Redial=On), up to a maximum number of times that varies by country (for the U.S., five times). The first redial occurs after a 1-minute wait; the next four redials occur after 5-minute waits. The Automatic Redial setting is also applied to faxes sent from your PC with Eclipse FAX SE.

Note: During the wait periods, the redial timer is shown on the front-panel display as a countdown. To make the next redial take place immediately, press the Redial/Pause button on the front panel while the automatic redial timer is displayed. (This applies only to paper faxes, not to PC faxes.)
