Conditions

Automatic Configuration for Outside (CO) Line Type

The dialling mode of connected outside (CO) lines is automatically assigned after restarting the PBX using the System Clear Switch or through system programming ( System Data Clear [999]). No system programming in Dial Mode [401] and Pulse Speed [402] is required unless the dialling mode of the connected outside (CO) lines is Call Blocking. If your telephone company can receive both DTMF and Pulse signals, the PBX selects an outside (CO) line type according to the following priority: DTMF Pulse (High) Pulse (Low)

Pulse to Tone Conversion

It is possible for an extension user to temporarily switch from Pulse mode to DTMF mode in order to access special services such as computer-accessed long-distance calling or voice mail services. To switch to DTMF mode, wait for a preprogrammed time period after the outside (CO) line is connected, or press the "#" key. This feature functions only on outside (CO) lines set to "Pulse" or "Call Block" mode ( Dial Mode [401]). DTMF mode cannot be changed to Pulse mode.

The pulse rate for outside (CO) lines that have been set to "Pulse" or "Call Block" mode ( Pulse Speed [402]) should be selected depending on your telephone company or a host PBX. There are 2 pulse rates: Low (10 pps) and High (20 pps).

It is possible to assign the minimum duration of the DTMF signal sent to outside (CO) lines that have been set to "DTMF" mode ( DTMF Time [210]).

It is programmable whether DTMF dialling is sent to the telephone company when an extension user

redials after changing from Pulse mode to DTMF mode by pressing the "#" key ( Redialling after Pulse to Tone Conversion [119]).
