5.5 Dial Tone
The standard dial tone of the box is an intermittent tone (see table inside front
cover). Some types of modems and fax machines require a
continuous dial tone
of 400 Hz
(same as outside line dial tone). You can tell this for modems, when
you don’t get a dial tone when establishing a connection. Fax machines cannot
establish a connection or react as if they were not attached to the line. Changing
the dial tone at the appropriate port may solve the problem.
Set the dial tone to 400 Hz:
Υ
Lift the receiver. You hear the standard dial tone.
∗
Press the star key.
Π
Enter the PIN if necessary.
032
Enter the digits 032.
Ν
Select the port to which your modem or respectively fax machine
is attached.
#
Press the pound key. Listen for the confirmation tone.
∆
Put the receiver down.
Set the dial tone back to standard:
Υ
Lift the receiver. You hear the continuous 400 Hz dial tone.
∗
Press the star key.
Π
Enter the PIN if necessary.
033
Enter the digits 033.
Ν
Select the port to which your modem or respectively fax machine
is attached.
#
Press the pound key. Listen for the confirmation tone.
∆
Put the receiver down.
Note:
You do not need to change the dial tone when you can make use
of the following alternatives:
Modems
: Use
the
AT X3
command when dialing. This means that the
modem does not wait for the dial tone when establishing a con-
nection.
Fax machines
: Read the device’s manual on how to adapt the machine to
PBXs. It is often possible to set the device to check the dial tone
after getting the outside line access.
