Tone Dialling
When checked, tone dialling will be used for outgoing phone calls, otherwise pulse dialling will be used.
Dial Tone Wait
This is the period to wait for before determining if a dial tone is present. The time is measured in seconds. A zero
in this field disables dial tone checking.
DTMF Tone Length
This is the length of one DTMF tone. This is only effective when tone dialling is selected. The time is measured in
milli-seconds.
PABX Prefix
When this is selected, a set prefix is inserted before all outgoing calls. This may be used in some PABX phone
systems to obtain an outside line. This prefix may be set in the text box following the PABX prefix option.
Line Reversal Detection
When checked, line reversal detection is enabled. Line reversal detection is a means of detecting when someone
answered the phone when an outgoing phone call is made.

This sets the number of rings required before the interconnect will answer the phone. A zero in this field disables
the interconnect from answering the phone.

This sets the number of rings to wait for when making a phone call before deciding that no one has answered.
Call Length
This is the maximum time online before the interconnect hangs up the phone.
Call Charging
This utilises a new method of monitoring the cost of the call in progress. If your exchange has enabled either the
50Hz, 12kHz or 16kHz subscriber charge pulses on your phone line then charging can additionally be made
according to the number of charge units received. Selecting the corresponding field will enable monitoring for it.
'Time' will select time charging. See the main section "Call Charging" in this manual.
