Dial Type Selection - Panasonic KX-TD816 Features Manual

General Features

Dial Type Selection

Description
Allows you to select the desired dialing mode for each outside line regardless of originating
call extension (rotary or tone).
There are three dialing modes available:
DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency) Mode
The dialing signal from an extension, either tone or rotary, is converted to tone dialing.
DTMF signals are transmitted to the outside line.
Pulse Dial (Rotary) Mode
The dialing signal from an extension, either tone or rotary, is converted to rotary dialing.
Rotary pulses are transmitted to the outside line.
Call Blocking Mode
Set this mode on outside lines that can receive both tone and rotary, but under contract with
the Central Office for rotary only. When dialing to a line using a touch-tone telephone, only
rotary is sent to the Central Office.
Conditions
• It is possible for the extension user to temporarily convert the pre-assigned rotary dialing
mode to DTMF mode (Pulse to Tone Conversion). DTMF mode cannot be changed to
rotary.
• Either DTMF or rotary dialing can be assigned for the DISA (Direct Inward System
Access)
• In case an outside line can receive both DTMF and pulse signals and is contracted for
DTMF with a Central Office, DTMF mode should be selected for the line. If it is contracted
for rotary mode, Call Blocking mode should be selected for the line.
• If a line is assigned Pulse Dial mode, select an appropriate pulse speed, pulse break ratio,
and inter-digit pause for the line, if necessary. If a line is assigned DTMF, select an
appropriate DTMF duration for the line, if necessary.
• After a held call is retrieved, the dial mode goes back to the one originally programmed on
the outside line.
