236 Call in from outside the system
N0008589 3.3
• Wait for Dial Tone: This feature ( FEATURE 804) causes a sequence of numbers to pause
until dial tone is present on the line before continuing to dial. You can use this feature if you
must dial a remote system and then wait for dial tone from that system before dialing the
remainder of your number. The Wait for Dial Tone symbol uses two of the 24 spaces in an
autodial or speed dial sequence.
Programming: There is no system programming for this feature.
• Pulse or tone dialing: If your external lines use pulse dialing, you can switch temporarily to
tone dialing. Tone dialing allows you to communicate with devices such as answering
machines or automatic switchboards, to access the features that PBX systems can provide, or
to access another system remotely.
Press # while on an active line. After you hang up, your telephone returns to pulse dialing.
Call in from outside the system
Callers can access the system over the public telephone network when away from the office, or
you can call from another system, over a private network.
• You can determine which lines will be available for remote access, and define further
restrictions.
• You can control which lines and what features are available to these callers by specifying class
of service (COS) passwords and identifying restrictions for each password.
Controlling telephone programming access
You can control the amount of access users have to the programming features on their telephones
using the Set lock feature.
