116: Set / Recall the Predial Digits and Timing
When either of the forward dial commands are used, several things must take place before the
number is actually dialed:
• If number readback is turned on, speak the number.
• Take the phone line off-hook. This is the same as you picking up your phone at home.
• Since the controller can not listen to see if it gets dial tone from the phone line, it just
delays for a little bit and assumes that dial tone is there. We will call this delay the
"initial delay".
• If you must dial '9' or some other digits to get out of a local switchboard or PBX, those
digits should be dialed here. We will call those "predial digits". You can also use these
predial digits to dial special codes to turn on or off call waiting, caller ID, and other
special features that your phone company may offer. They can be omitted if you are are
not on a PBX.
• After dialing the predial digits, you may need to delay again while the PBX hooks you
up to an outside telephone line. We will call this delay the "after-predial delay". This
delay can be set to zero if you are not using predial digits.
• Now we can dial the actual number.
This command lets you set the initial delay, predial digits (if any), and after-predial delay.
