Definity PBX type then DTMF should be set to “out-of-band.” The DTMF parameter will only appear if the PBX type is set to Definity. If the DTMF value is not set properly the routing of the Analog port Emergency Number will fail (see Essential Configuration of the Analog Port on setting up the Analog port).
The following is a detailed description of the programming areas that would be considered “essential” to the proper operation of the Remote. Do NOT connect the PBXgateway to the PBX or connect the digital telephone(s) to the Remote until the Setup Wizard has been run.

Any valid phone number can be used – the phone number to the corporate main security desk, for example. If the PBXgateway is connected to an Avaya PBX type it must be set to deliver the DTMF tones either within the voice path (in-band) or not within the voice path (out-of-band) - this is based on the functionality of the PBX.
If, however, a password is entered for a port on the PBXgateway and Remote the user will not be required to take any action. 3. Configuring the Line Signaling (Nortel Norstar PBX only) – On some installation environments a clicking noise may be present in the audio path.

Verify that the Ethernet cable is connected and there is an active link status on the Remote and Network Hub/Switch. Verify the digital telephone works correctly if connected directly to the PBX port. Verify that the correct PBX is selected.
After the units have gone through the self-diagnostics tests and loading the runtime image, the telephone port LED should be solid green. This indicates that the telephone port is connected to a digital port on the PBX and to a telephone connected to the Remote, but not extended.
Most commonly there is an impedance mismatch between the analog line and your PBX. Also, the db level of the analog circuit may be too high. Analog circuits that are “hot” are a common cause of echo. Again, that echo may not be perceived on non- extended telephones, but that is only because there is no delay.
Page 84
If you have analog trunks on your PBX, the echo canceller frequently takes a second or two to detect levels of what is echo and what is voice, and then it starts to cancel the echo. The only way to eliminate that situation is to replace your analog trunks with digital trunk lines.
