Wait for Dial Tone

Wait for Dial Tone causes a sequence of numbers to pause until dial tone is present on the line
before continuing to dial. You can use this feature if you must dial a remote system and then wait
for dial tone from that system before dialing the remainder of your number.

The Wait for Dial Tone symbol (

) uses two of the 24 spaces in an autodial or speed dial

sequence.

Pulse or tone dialing

If your external lines use pulse dialing, you can switch temporarily to tone dialing. Tone dialing
allows you to communicate with devices such as answering machines, to access the features that
PBX systems can provide, or to access another system remotely.

Press £ while on an active line. After you hang up, your telephone returns to pulse dialing.

Pulse dialing for a call

If your external telephone lines use pulse dialing, you can switch to tone dialing by pressing £
after selecting the line. Tone dialing allows your telephone to communicate with devices and
services that respond to tone signals, such as automatic switchboards, and fax or answering
machines.

Access your system from an external location

You can use the lines and some of the features of Business Communications Manager from outside
the system. You can access the system over the public telephone network when away from the
office, or you can call from another system, over a private network.

It is important to maintain the security of your system by limiting access to authorized users and
limiting those users to the features they need.

For example, a sales representative out of the office needs to make long distance calls to the
European office. Your system has a leased line to Europe with reduced transatlantic charges. You
provide the sales representative with a Class of Service password that gives access to the
transatlantic line. The sales representative can telephone into the system (DISA DN) from a hotel,
enter the Class of Service password, and then use a destination code to access the leased
transatlantic line to make calls.

You have entered a code limited to a programmed autodial or speed
dial sequence, not on a call you dial directly. Run/Stop are for use in
programmed dialing Autodialers only.
