Dial Mode (#201)

Use this feature to identify individual lines as touch-tone or rotary. Check with your local telephone
company if you are not sure which type of line is being provided to you.

Considerations

If you are having difficulty using touch-tone telephones on rotary lines, you may need to adjust
the Rotary Dialing Timeout (#108).
If the system has rotary lines, you can use Touch-Tone Enable (F08) to send touch-tone
signals over a rotary line (for example, to access bank-by-telephone services).
If Dial Mode is set to Rotary, star codes are entered by dialing 11 instead of
users at extensions with Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) set to Local Only who are calling
out on lines with the Dial Mode set to Rotary, you should add "11" to an Allowed Phone
Numbers List (#407) and assign the list to these extensions. Otherwise, when the users at
the restricted extensions dial 1 to begin a star code, the system interprets this as an attempt to
place a long-distance call, the call is blocked, and the user hears the reorder tone.
The 1600 DSL module supports only touch-tone signaling.
