Dial Mode (#201)
Description
This System Programming procedure identifies individual lines as touch-tone or
rotary. You should check with your local phone company if you are not sure which
type of line is being provided to you.

■ If you are having difficulty using touch-tone phones on rotary lines, you may
need to adjust the Rotary Dialing Timeout (#108).
■ If the system has rotary lines, you can use Touch-Tone Enable to send
touch-tone signals over a rotary line (for example, to access bank-by-phone
services).
■ If Dial Mode (#201) is set to Rotary, star codes are entered by dialing 11
instead of *. If you have users at extensions with Outgoing Call
Restriction (#401) set to Local Only who are calling out on lines with the
Dial Mode (#201) set to Rotary, you should add “11” to an Allowed Phone
Numbers List (#407) and assign the list to these extensions. Otherwise,
when the users at the restricted extensions dial 1 to begin a star code, the
system interprets this as an attempt to place a long-distance call, the call is
blocked, and the user hears the reorder tone.
