signals defined by the DTMF_string . The phone executes the next parameter. If there are no more
parameters in the dial string to execute, the phone exits to the main screen.
The wait prompt window does not disappear until the user confirms the wait prompt or the call is ended
either by the user or ended by the remote device.
•
DTMF_string
—
is the DTMF signals that a user sends to a remote device after the call is connected. The
phone cannot send signals other than valid DTMF signals.
Example:
18887225555,,5552X2222
A speed dial entry triggers the phone to dial
18887225555
. The space indicates the end of the dial string.
The phone waits 4 seconds (2 commas), and then sends the DTMF signals
5552
.
A message is displayed, prompting the user to manually enter digits. When the user finishes dialing the digits,
the user presses
OK to confirm the manual input is complete. The phone sends the DTMF signals
2222
.
Usage Guidelines
A user can transmit digits any time, as long as the call is connected.
The maximum length of the string, including the Xs or commas (,), is limited to the length of a speed-dial
entry, dial screen entry, directory entry, and other dialed strings.
When a wait is initiated, the phone displays the home screen and prompts the user to input more digits with
the key pad. If this action occurs while the user is editing an entry, the edits might be lost.
If only the first part of a dial string matches a dial plan when the call is dialed, the portion of the dial string
that does not match the dial string is ignored. For example:
85377776666,,1,23
If
8537777
matches a dial plan, the characters
6666
are ignored. The phone waits 4 seconds before sending
DTMF 1. It then wait 2 seconds and sends DTMF 23.
When logging the call, the phone only logs the dial string; the DTMF strings are not logged.
Valid DTMF signals are 0-9, *, or #. All other characters are ignored.
Limitations
When the call is connected and immediately transferred, the phone might not be able to process the DTMF
signals. This depends on the length of time that the call is connected before it is transferred.
