Converting from Pulse to Tone Dialing
If your company is in a Dial Pulse area, you may need to change the dialing
mode of your phone to tone (DTMF) after you place your initial call. This allows
you to use dial-up services like electronic banking or a client’s Voice Mail.
To change your dialing mode to DTMF:
1. Place outside call normally.
Your call dials out as Dial Pulse.
2. Press #.
The next digits you dial go out as DTMF.
Instead of dialing #, the system may automatically convert
to DTMF 10 seconds after you dial the last digit of your
outside call.
Are You Behind a PBX?
Your telephone system may be connected to a Private Branch Exchange (PBX)
rather than to the telephone company’s lines. This means that when you get dial
tone on an outside line, you are really getting dial tone from the PBX. This
may affect the way you place outside calls. For example:
● After you press a line key, you may have to dial an additional access code
(e.g., 9) before you can dial your outside number.
● The PBX may restrict you from placing certain types of calls.
● If you use Automatic Route Selection, your telephone system may automati-
cally insert whatever codes the PBX requires. For example, when you dial 9
926 5400 for an outside call, your system may send 9 9 926 5400 to the PBX.
●
You may be able to Transfer to and Conference with other systems connect-
ed to the same PBX.
Ask your Communication’s Manager if you are behind a PBX.
