CHAPTER 4: Operation
4.2 Setting the PULSE/TONE Switch
If you can pick up a phone at your site, dial a number, hear touchtones as you
press the keys, and have the call go through, then you can leave the Conference 1
set to its factory-default tone-dial setting. But if your site uses only rotary phones, or
for whatever other reason does not have touchtone service—that is, if the line
doesn’t seem to recognize or respond to touchtones—you’ll have to move the
PULSE/TONE slide switch on the bottom of the Conference 1 to the PULSE
position. This will cause the Conference 1 to dial with make/break pulses, as a
rotary phone would.
Even if you have to switch the Conference 1 to PULSE for dialing, you can switch
it back to TONE in the middle of a call in order to use a touchtone-recognition
system (for example, to enter a calling-card number, to select options in a tone-
controlled menu, etc.). Just switch to PULSE again before placing your next call.
4.3 Placing a Standard Call
To place a simple point-to-point phone call with the Conference 1 when it’s
connected to a standard phone line, take these steps:
1. Turn on your Conference 1 by pressing its ON/OFF button
. The
power LED should come on and you should hear a dial tone. If the LED
doesn’t light and you don’t hear a dial tone, make sure that the
Conference 1’s power supply is plugged in, that its power LED is on, and that
all other connections are secure; also see
Section 5.2
.
2. Type in the phone number of the party you’re trying to reach. When the call
is answered, the status LEDs around the top of the Conference 1 will become
active; each LED will light in response to sound detected by the
corresponding microphone.
3. When you’re finished with your call, press the ON/OFF button again to hang
up. The power LED and status LEDs will go dark.
You’ll need to use a different procedure to make a call if the Conference 1 is
connected to a digital phone system; see the end of
Section 3.4.6
.
