Chapter 5.2: Define Phone numbers Type of Dispatch
Select the mode in which telephone numbers are dispatched to the GSM network.
To dispatch phone numbers manually, in the Send Complete list, select
HASH
mode. In this mode, after the user has dialed all digits of a phone number, press
to send the phone numbe.
To dispatch phone numbers automatically, in the Send Complete list, select
OMIT
. Then set three additional parameters:
a. Length of phone numbers that will be dialed from the port
within range.
i. In the Min. Digits box, enter the number of digits of the shortest phone
number that will be dialed from this port.
ii. In the Max. Digits box, enter the number of digits of the longest phone
number that will be dialed from this port
b. Inter Digit Pause. This parameter defines a waiting time,
after a digit is pressed, before the number is automatically dispatched
to the GSM network.
If this parameter is set too low, then incomplete phone numbers may be
dispatched if the user pauses briefly while dialing.
If this parameter is set too high, then users would have to wait a long time
before a number is dispatched.
The inter digit pause is activated after the minimum number of digits have been
dialed.
In many situations, two or three seconds may be appropriate for this parameter.
Each unit of this parameter is 50 milliseconds. For example, to set an inter digit
pause of 3 seconds, enter a value of 60 in this box
(60 * 50 milliseconds = 3,000 milliseconds = 3 seconds).
When a port is set to auto-dispatch phone numbers, after the user has dialed the
maximum number of digits, or, when an inter digit pause has occurred, then the
number is dispatched automatically.
c. Define Minimum Amount of Time between Outgoing Calls
Enter the minimum amount of time between outgoing calls in the Intercall Timer
box. Set this parameter according to limitations of the GSM network. In many
situations, two seconds may be an appropriate value for this parameter.
