DP to DTMF Signal Conversion System Features
1-20 DBS 824-3.0/3.2-700 Revised April 2000
DP to DTMF Signal Conversion
(CPC-S and CPC-M)
Description
This feature allows an extension user to switch from DP to DTMF signaling
when using a DP trunk.
For instance, if a user dials into a voice mail system using a DP trunk, the user
can switch to DTMF signaling to communicate with the voice mail system.
DTMF tones can be sent either during the call or while the call is being
dialed.
Operation
To switch from dial pulse to DTMF dialing, press “*” or “#.”

Considerations
DTMF dialing remains in effect for the duration of the call. Pulse dialing is
restored when the handset is replaced.
Once DTMF dialing is invoked, the user cannot switch back to pulse
dialing without disconnecting the call.
Changing from dial pulse to DTMF is possible even if the “*” or “#” key is
programmed for speed dialing.
