EZ VMS Lite
If this value is too small, the PBX will miss one or more of the digits dialed by the unit for
transferring the call.
Off-hook to message delay:
This value determines the delay period between the unit going off hook and the start of
the main greeting. If this value is too small, the caller may miss the first few syllables or
the first word of the main greeting.
Select a value in the range 0 to 9 where n x 0.2 sec gives the total delay period. Default
value = 5 (1.0 second).
Dial mode:
There are three kinds of dial modes. The correct mode must be chosen for the PBX to
work properly.
Tone: Most current PBX systems use this method where the digits are dialed as an audio
tone comprising of two tones (DTMF method). The Tone is on for 100 msec and off for
100 msec.
Pulse: This is an older method of dialing where each digit was dialed out by making and
breaking the connection rapidly resulting in a pulse on the line. For the digit 1, one pulse
is dialed, two pulses are dialed for the digit 2 and for the digit 0, ten pulses are
transmitted.
Long tone: It is another form of DTMF signaling where each tone is of 300 msec.
MWL parameters:
The Message Waiting Lamp (MWL) is normally available on most digital phone
instruments and some analog phones. This lamp may be made to glow on or off by
sending an appropriate string to the PBX and is usually made to flash when a mailbox-
owner gets a new message.
The 'Enable String' and 'Disable String' may contain a maximum of 16 characters. The
strings may be programmed only if the `MWL Enabled' check box is selected.
Example: 'Enable String' = '*761E'. In this case, for example, to glow the Message
Waiting Lamp of Extension 539, the EZ VMS Lite goes off hook and dials *761539 and to
put off the lamp, it dials *762539.
Valid characters - digits, *, #, p, P, e, E, h, H where, "p, p = Pause", "E, e = Extension"
and "H, h = Hook-flash".
Cadence values:
Cadence values are the Timing values corresponding to the different Call Progress
patterns unique to each PBX. When the EZ VMS Lite transfers a call to an extension, it
monitors the call progress cadences returned by the PBX and calculates the ON / OFF
timings of the signal. These timings are stored in values that are multiples of 33 msec.
