Pulse to Tone Conversion
Description
An extension can use Pulse to Tone Conversion while placing an outside call to change the dialing mode
from dial pulse to DTMF. For a system in a dial pulse area, this permits users to access DTMF services (such
as telephone banking) from their DP area. Pulse to tone conversion also helps dial pulse callers use another
company’s automated attendant dialing options. The user can, for example:
❥ Place a call to their bank over a DP line.
❥ After the banking service answers, wait 6 seconds. (The system automatically converts dialing to DTMF.)
❥ Dial additional banking options.
Refer to Central Office Calls, Answering (page 74) and Central Office Calls, Placing (page 78) for the spe-
cifics on setting up your outside calling.
