Description
A caller’s response to the Touch-Tone Gate allows the system to know whether
or not the caller is calling from a touch-tone telephone. If the Touch-Tone Gate is
On, callers who do not respond to the Touch-Tone Gate are assumed to have a
rotary telephone.
The Touch-Tone Gate can be used in both monolingual and bilingual modes of
operation. If the system is in bilingual mode, the Touch-Tone Gate also enables
callers to choose the language in which they want to hear the prompts played.
The default Touch-Tone Gate setting is Off.

Greeting must prompt the caller to press [
1 ] to indicate that the call is
being made from a touch-tone telephone. If the caller presses [
1 ], the
Automated Attendant Main Menu plays. If the caller does not press [
1 ]
within four seconds, the call is handled as determined by the Dial
0/Timeout Action setting for the Day or Night Main Menu:
