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.
Related Features
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.
Valid Entries
1 = Touch-Tone line
2 = Rotary line
