PABX Systems / Supplementary Services Dialling pause When using private branch exchanges, it is necessary to dial an access code to obtain the dialling tone for an outside line. When using some older private branch exchanges, it takes a little time before the dialling tone becomes audible. In the case of such private branch ex- changes, a dialling pause can be inserted after the number for an outside line in order to continue dialling directly without having to wait for the dialling tone.
