Tone First / Voice First Signalling
To determine the signalling on the telephone circuit.
Tone First Signalling
When the telephone rings and the called party must press Spkr or lift the handset in order
to receive the call.
Voice First Signalling
The telephone does not ring when it is being called, rather a long tone is heard, followed
by the caller's voice coming through the speaker. This method automatically starts in a
hands free mode and allows both parties to speak with each other.
Note The calling party has control over whether Tone First or Voice First Signalling is
being used. The ability to switch between the two is setup by the System
Administrator.
