Incoming Dial Type
Indicates the type of pulses required on an incoming trunk group. Usually, you should match
what your central office provides. This field appears when Group Type is Access, APLT, DID,
DIOD, DMI-BOS, FX, RLT, Tandem, or WATS. It also appears for Tie trunk groups when the
Trunk Signaling Type field is blank, cont, or dis.

Incoming Dial Tone
Indicates whether or not your server running Communication Manager will give dial tone in
response to far-end seizures of the trunk group.
Valid entries
y
n
Usage
Enter tone to use Dual Tone Multifrequency (DTMF) addressing, also
known as "touchtone" in the U.S. Entering tone actually allows the trunk
group to support both DTMF and rotary signals. Also, if you're using the
Inband ANI feature, enter tone.
For pulsed and continuous E&M signaling in Brazil and for discontinuous
E&M signaling in Hungary, use tone.
Enter rotary if you only want to allow the dial pulse addressing method
used by non-touch tone telephones. Though the tone entry supports
rotary dialing as well, it's inefficient to reserve touch tone registers for calls
that don't use DTMF.
Enter mf if the Trunk Signaling Type field is blank. The Multifrequency
Signaling field must be enabled on the System-Parameters
Customer-Options screen in order for you to enter mf here.
You cannot enter mf if the Used for DCS field (field descriptions for page
2) is y.
For pulsed and continuous E&M signaling in Brazil and for discontinuous
E&M signaling in Hungary, use mf.
Usage
Enter y if the incoming trunk group transmits digits. For example, you
would enter y for two-way, dial-repeating tie trunks that users select by
dialing a trunk access code.
Enter n for trunks that aren't sending digits, such as tandem or incoming
CO trunks.
