Pulse-To-Tone Switchover; Direct Inward Dialing - Vodavi STARPLUS STSe Operation Manual

Features and Operation

Pulse-to-Tone Switchover

Description
When commanded, the system changes the signaling on an outside line from dial pulse to
DTMF (tone), allowing the use of common carriers behind a dial pulse outside line. This can
be done manually when dialing, or can be stored within a speed dial number.
Operation
To perform the change-over:
Dial [ ] on the dial pad. The remaining digit(s) is sent using DTMF.
(The Pulse-To-Tone Switchover command may also be included in a speed dial bin.)

Direct Inward Dialing

Description
This feature allows the number and name field of the LCD display on a direct inward dialing
(DID) call to be presented to the ICLID port. Calls are identified in the SMDR field as Answered
(I) or Unanswered (U) followed by the DID number.
DID calls are treated as incoming calls and follow the same rules established for CO lines. DID
information transferred from the network is captured and translated to direct a specific DID
number to a specific station, Hunt group of stations, or Voice Mail group. The DID call appears
at the destination station under an assigned Loop or CO button.
When receiving a DID call, the destination station hears the CO line ringing and the assigned
CO or Loop button flashes at the incoming CO line flash rate. The destination station then
presses the flashing CO or Loop button, is connected to the incoming DID call, and CO line
ringing stops and the LED for the CO or Loop button lights steady.
If the outside caller disconnects from a two-party conversation, the Central Office opens the
loop and returns the line to idle state. The STSe Digital System detects the disconnect signal,
release the line, and provides a busy tone to the keyset/SLT (unless the SLT is a VM port), and
disconnects from the DID line. If the extension called hangs up the phone, the central office
detects disconnects, and returns the line to the idle state.
The DID feature provides one-way direct inward dialing access to specific stations on specific
DID lines from the public telephone network, without going through an Attendant
answering position. DID capabilities refer to incoming calls only.
The DID feature requires a T-1 Interface Board (T1IB) with DNIS capability that provides 24
one-way DID circuits on the STSe. The system can accept 2-7 digits from the Central Office.
By default, all entries in the DID Table (000-999) have phone numbers assigned. Refer to
Table 2-6: DID Translation / Route Default Table Entries
