Second Dial Tone Timer

In some instances, after dialing a star code the CO responds with a second dial
tone as a prompt to enter additional digits. Once a star code is accepted by the
communications system, the Second Dial Tone Timer is activated and set to the
programmed value. If dialing is attempted before the Second Dial Tone Timer
expires, the call is treated as though it had violated calling restrictions and is not
completed.
!
SecurityAlert:
If the Second Dial Tone Timer is set to 0 ms and a caller begins dialing
additional digits before the second dial tone, system restrictions may be
bypassed and a restricted call may be routed. Careful administration of the
Second Dial Tone Timer prevents the caller from bypassing call restrictions
in this manner.
Marked System Speed Dial entries (entries that do not display) are not affected by
the Second Dial Tone Timer setting. If the Central Office does not immediately
supply dial tone when a star code is entered and a Marked System Speed Dial
entry uses star codes, then the appropriate number of pauses (each 1.5 seconds)
must be programmed in the entry following each star code.
Planning Form Instructions
Under the Second Dial Tone Timer heading, enter the desired value. Valid entries
are 0 – 5000 ms in increments of 200 ms. The system default is 0.
