Dialling Options - Gigaset SX790 ISDN User Manual

Connecting the base to the PABX

Dialling options

The KEYPAD function allows you to control
certain features by entering sequences of
characters and digits.
The KEYPAD function must be activated
when you connect your Gigaset to an ISDN
PABX or exchange (e.g., Centrex) that is con-
trolled using KEYPAD protocol. The digits/
characters 0–9, * and # are sent as keypad
information elements. Please ask your serv-
ice provider about the information and
codes you can transmit.

ling and if * and # are entered it is not pos-
sible to switch to the keypad.

Once * or # have been entered, this set-
ting automatically switches signalling

Regardless of the setting options above,
after dialling or during a call, the phone
automatically switches to tone dialling
(DTMF) e.g., for controlling an answering
machine remotely.
