6.13 Establishing the Dialing Ratio
You can modify the settings for manually dialed or system automatically dialed digits, depending on the outside
plant environment, type of Central Office, and customers’ specialized dialing requirements. The system provides
two features that control this:
• DTMF “on” time (tone) and
• Pulse dialing – pulse time/Pulse dialing – inter-digit time.
Usually it is not necessary to modify the settings of these features. However, in some installation environments the
outside plant equipment may be antiquated, or line conditions may be poor. In these instances you can increase
tone duration and/or inter-digit duration timing to offset these poor conditions.
The following conditions apply to setting the dial wait time and delay.
• You can use a longer DTMF “on” time and/or inter-digit tone time to ensure more reliable interaction with
remote voice mail and similar remote DTMF dial-pad-actuated devices.
• At default the DTMF duration is set to 70 milliseconds.
• Longer tone duration or inter-digit duration times cause a slower output of manual or automatic system-dialed
numbers.
6.13.1 PROGRAMMING USING THE DET
Note: chg , bksp , save , one , always , del , and ack are interactive LCD button operations. Use the three buttons

choices are 60 or 67 milliseconds. The default is 60 milliseconds.
6. Press next to advance to Pulse Dialing Inter-digit Time. Then press chg to select the time you want the sys-
tem to insert between each pulse during outdialing. Valid choices are 400 - 800 milliseconds. The default is
800 milliseconds.
7. Press next to advance to Tone Time.
8. Press chg to select how long you want the system to play each individual DTMF tone during outdialing.
This time is also used for time between DTMF digits. Valid options are 70, 90, or 120 milliseconds. The
default is 70 milliseconds.
9. Press the Hold button to return to the previous menu level,
Or, press the Volume button (up or down) to return to the DB Item Selection screen,
