Dial Type Selection - Panasonic KX-TD816JT Features Manual

Dial Type Selection

Description
Allows you to select the desired dialling mode for each outside line regardless of originating
call extension (rotary or tone). <[402] Dial Mode Selection>
There are three dialling modes available:
DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-
Frequency) Mode
Pulse Dial (Rotary) Mode
Call Blocking Mode
Conditions
• Pulse to Tone Conversion:
It is possible for the extension user to temporarily convert the pre-assigned rotary dialling
mode to DTMF mode so that the user can access special services such as computer-accessed
long distance calling or voice mail services. This feature works only on outside lines set to
Pulse Dialling mode or Call Blocking mode. DTMF mode cannot be changed to rotary.
• 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 <[403] Pulse Speed
Selection>, pulse break ratio <[990] System Additional Information, Area 02-Bit 7>, and
inter-digit pause for the line <[990] System Additional Information, Area 02-Bits12 and
11>, if necessary. If a line is assigned DTMF, select an appropriate DTMF duration for the
line <[404] DTMF Time>, if necessary.
• After a held call is retrieved, the dial mode goes back to the one originally programmed on
the outside line.
• Either DTMF or rotary dialling can be assigned for the DISA (Direct Inward System
Access) outgoing line. With DISA, Pulse to Tone Conversion is not possible.
Features Guide
Feature Type Transferring method
The dialling signal from an extension, either tone or rotary,
is converted to tone dialling. DTMF signals are transmitted
to the outside line.
The dialling signal from an extension, either tone or rotary,
is converted to rotary dialling. Rotary pulses are transmitted
to the outside line.
Set this mode on outside lines that can receive both tone and
rotary, but under contract with the Central Office for rotary
only. When dialling to a line using a touch-tone telephone,
only rotary is sent to the Central Office.
