Using Pulse Dialing - 3Com 3101 User Manual

Using Pulse Dialing

Ringing feature on the manager's telephone and has specified 4 rings (a
typical setting).
When a call comes in to the manager on that extension, the assistant's
telephone rings 4 times before the call audibly rings on the manager's
telephone. Even during the first silent rings, the line's status light on the
manager's telephone flashes, allowing the manager to answer the call if
required.
In some locations, analog telephone users must dial telephone calls using
pulse dialing instead of tone dialing (also called Dual Tone Multi
Frequency, or DTMF, dialing).
Your administrator must configure the Analog Line Card ports for pulse
dialing.
Examples:
Some of your telephone lines are provided by a telephone company
that supports only pulse dialing while other lines are provided by a
different telephone company that supports DTMF dialing.
Your organization's telephone service provider offers low-cost,
pulse-dialing-only service.
In some situations, you must switch to DTMF dialing during a call. For
example, if your call is answered by an automated attendant that
requires that you enter information from your telephone keypad, you
must typically enter the information using DTMF dialing.
To change from pulse dialing to DTMF during a call:
1 Press Feature + 891.
2 Your connection is switched from pulse to tone (DTMF) for the remainder
of the call. When you hang up, the port you were using on the Analog
Line Card reverts to pulse dialing mode.
Your administrator can map a button on your telephone so that you can
press the button to change from pulse dialing to DTMF during a call.
When you hang up, the port that you were using on the Analog Line
Card reverts to pulse dialing mode.
