Dialing Timeout Interval For Rotary Lines

DESCRIPTION

CONSIDERATIONS

ADMINISTRATION

When a person places an outside call on rotary lines, your system is factory-set to wait 12 seconds before connecting the call. This Dialing Timeout Interval ensures that the caller hears Touch-Tones rather than clicks. As a result of this interval, people in your business may find they are being connected to calls after the person they are calling has already answered.

The system administrator can shorten the length of time that elapses before these calls are connected by decreasing the Dialing Timeout Interval to 8 seconds. If that setting is also too long, the administrator can lower the setting to 4 seconds, and then, if necessary, down to 0 seconds (no delay).

●If the administrator sets the Dialing Timeout Internal for 0 seconds

(no delay), the person placing the call will hear clicks as he or she dials the outside number.

●When a person dials an outside number on a rotary line, he or she hears the MERLIN II system intercom dialing tone, not the usual outside dialing tone.

To set or change the Dialing Timeout Interval for rotary lines, enter administration mode and follow the appropriate procedure, below.
