Dial Mode (#201)
4-26
Dial Mode (#201) 4
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 4
■ 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 *. If you have
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 (Release 4.0 and later systems) supports only touch-tone signaling.
Programming 4
To change the Dial Mode setting for a specific line:
1. Press
f00ss#201 at extension 10 or 11.
2. Enter the first line to be programmed.
3. Press
D until the appropriate value appears:
■ 1 = Touch-Tone line (the factory setting)
■ 2 = Rotary line
4. To program another line, press
n or p until the line number appears on the
display. Then repeat Step 3.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for all lines that you want to change.
6. Select another procedure, or exit programming mode.
