Dialer Function
Dialer Function
The Dialer function provides a dial-up path from the AXS-200/635i to 
another tester (or quiet termination or silent switchman) through a 
switched circuit network. DTMF transmission is enabled via the AXS-200 
keypad allowing you to place and receive POTS calls. The dialer can be 
accessed from the Home pane and is also integrated into individual test 
screens to give you quick access to the manual dialer function, speed dial 
and last dialed lists, without exiting the current test application.
Dialer
The Dialer menu item/tab allows you to use the unit as a telephone (with a 
headset) and the AXS-200 keypad as a dialer keypad when the Dialer is 
invoked, whether in the test results screens or through the separate 
dedicated Dialer application. It goes off hook immediately when entered 
from the menu or when switched from another tab.This allows you to 
quickly check if the circuit under test has dial tone or is a digital service.
