18.4 Computer Aided Telephony (CAT) Software
The Computer Aided Telephony (CAT) version of the Phone Line Manager 16 x 4 software can operate in
a computer environment where it can be controlled by an application running on the computer. All of the
modes and commands discussed in this manual will operate as described. A person at any extension can use
all of the features listed. However, there may be other commands and capabilities which can be accessed
from the computer application controlling the Phone Line Manager 16 x 4.
18.5 Report DISA Digits to the CAT Application
The CAT software can be configured to send a message to the CAT application as each digit is entered by an
incoming caller to an outside line configured to operate in the DISA mode. In this mode, the Phone Line
Manager 16 x 4 will not try to interpret the digits entered. It will not cause the call to ring at any extension.
The CAT application would typically process the digits entered and send a command to the Phone Line
Manager 16 x 4 causing the incoming call to ring at a specified extension.
To report incoming DISA digits to the CAT Application:
1. In the programming mode, lift the handset and enter 7860. Pause for the confirmation tone. Hang up
or continue programming.
To enable the normal mode of DISA operation:
1. In the programming mode, lift the handset and enter 7861. Pause for the confirmation tone. Hang up
or continue programming.
