Internal DTMF Dialling From System And Personal Speed Dials
It is now possible to send DTMF signals internally from System Speed Dials and Personal
Speed Dials on the DBS. This will allow single key access to voicemail systems to be set up.
To do this the destination extension is stored, followed by a DTMF send key and the DTMF to
send. The DTMF can include 1 - 9,0,*,# and REDIAL (pause). The DTMF tones are 250ms
mark / 250ms space and the pause time is the voicemail pause timer introduced in v4.0.
When using a memory to send internal DTMF in this way the keypad of the extension is
disabled until dialling is complete and if the extension is a display keyset the LCD is blank.
The blank LCD will keep passwords secret.
When dialling the tones can be audible or silent dependant upon system program setting. If
the memory is sent during a conversation the contents will be DTMF dialled over the speech.
Memories can be 'chained' together provided that the total length of the combined memories
does not exceed 24 digits.
When an System Speed Dial is used in this manner it does not increment the System Speed
Dial use counter which can be viewed from the operator extension, this counter is only for
external calls.
The facility can also be used over an E&M link, in which case the DTMF is sent after E&M
answer is received and any stored pause ignored.
This facility will operate to any extension. However if the extension is set to forward to
voicemail it will not operate, thus avoiding a repeating loop to voicemail.
Call Logger Indication Of Held And Transferred Calls
The call logging output has been updated to show DASS II calls and calls which have been
held or transferred.
The new condition codes are shown below:
Condition Code Meaning
H Call has been held and retrieved or recalled. The time field shows when
the call was retrieved and the duration will shown how long it was held
for. If the caller cleared when on hold the line number will be preceded
by a '*'. Type of hold is not detected.
T Call has been transferred or held and retrieved or recalled at some
point. This will print at the end of the call where the start time is the time
it was transferred or retrieved and the duration is the time since it was
transferred or retrieved.
