DATA ENTRY KEYS FOR SIGNALING

In addition to numerical SETUP parameter values (and the SHIFT functions printed above some
of them in green), the two rows of Data Entry keys provide all 16 DTMF (Dual Tone
Multifrequency) digits for signaling, all 15 MF digits, and all 10 dial pulse digits.
Keys 1-7 also activate dialing sequence signaling functions printed in red beneath them (after
SHIFT has been pressed twice so its red LED is on). These additional signaling functions
include:
1.7.1 WAIT DT ([SHIFT][SHIFT][1]) Key: This key causes the AM8a to stop dialing and wait
for Dial Tone before continuing. "P" will appear where this is entered into an AUTO
DIAL location.
1.7.2 WAIT WINK ([SHIFT][SHIFT][2]) Key: This key causes the AM8a to stop dialing and wait
for a valid wink before continuing. "W" will appear where this is entered into an AUTO
DIAL location.
1.7.3 WAIT ([SHIFT][SHIFT][3]) Key: This key gives a fixed wait of 3 seconds in dialing. "-"
will appear where this is entered into an AUTO DIAL location.
1.7.4 FLASH ([SHIFT][SHIFT][4]) Key: This key gives a momentary On-Hook state, with
duration determined by the "FLASH" parameter entered in ANALYZE. "F" will appear
where this is entered into an AUTO DIAL location.
1.7.5 UNBALANCE [SHIFT][SHIFT][5] Key: With this key, a momentary unbalanced condition
(resistance on the conductors unequal with respect to ground) is applied to the line for
a duration specified under ANALYZE. "U" will appear where this is entered into an
AUTO DIAL location.
1.7.6 TOGGLE DIAL ([SHIFT][SHIFT][6]) Key: If different dialing types are to be used in the
same call, this key offers a method of selecting the changes. Each time a Toggle Dial
is encountered, it changes dialing modes. The sequence is: TT, DP, MF, in rotation.
"T" will appear where this is entered into an AUTO DIAL location.
1.7.7 BLANK ([SHIFT][SHIFT][7] Key: Inserting a blank into an AUTO DIAL number will stop
the dialing sequence at that point.
