• Use the code “53xx,” where xx is a number from 01 to 99 to get durations
from 100mS to 9900mS.
Once you change the DTMF gap, it will stay at the new value indefinitely, or
until changed again by another code.
Note: If you intend to program a large number of DTMF pages with varying
tone durations and, it would be a good idea to set up the proper duration
values at the beginning of each individual page. Otherwise, the old values from
the previous page will be used for the new page.
DTMF Pause Characters
Unlike a DTMF gap, which is automatically sent after each DTMF character, a
DTMF Pause Character may be inserted anywhere in a DTMF page. These
pauses are typically used to separate individual pages within a multi-page
message. Ten common pause durations are shown in the DTMF Pause
Characters Table. If you wish to insert a pause into a page, enter the two-digit
code corresponding to your choice.
If the DTMF Pause you want is not in the table, go to the custom DTMF pause
description below.
The following table shows DTMF Pause Characters:
DTMF Pause Characters
Control Character 9950
DTMF Pause Code
100mS 40
200mS 41
300mS 42
400mS 43
500mS 44
600mS 45
700mS 46
800mS 47
900mS 48
1000mS 49
DTMF Custom Pause Characters
The easiest way to insert a pause is to use the 2-digit codes mentioned above.
However, you may require other pauses, so the controller allows you to choose
a Custom DTMF Pause. Duration may be set from 10mS to 9900mS
(9.9seconds).
• Use the code “54xx,” where xx is a number from 01 to 99, to get durations
from 10mS to 990mS.
