Mobile Programming of Auto-Dial Numbers
If allowed by programming, mobile users can install or modify telephone numbers in the auto-dial
memory.
1. With the PL1877A idle, dial *0* from the mobile DTMF keypad. Three mid-frequency beeps are
generated, indicating that the PL1877A is awaiting entry of a valid auto-dial location number (1
through 25) followed by *. If an invalid auto-dial location number is entered, 6 disconnect beeps are
generated and the auto-dial programming mode is exited.
2. Upon receipt of * following the location number, an auto-dial location is opened. Enter the desired
phone number.
You can program pauses between telephone number digits by entering DTMF * at the desired point.
For example, if you want to dial 9 (pause) 948-1490, enter 9*9481490. This is useful when you are
dialing out of a PABX and must wait for the PSTN (external) dial tone before continuing dialing.
If the PL1877A is programmed for pulse dialing, you can dial several pulse auto-dial digits, then
pause and dial the remaining digits in DTMF. This is called a revert since the PL1877A reverts from
pulse to DTMF dialing. To place a revert in an auto-dial number, enter a DTMF # at the desired
point. For example, if you want the PL1877A to dial 9 (revert) 948-1490 (where 9 is dialed in pulse
and 948-1490m DTMF), enter 9#9481490.
N OTE : Only one revert can be in an auto-dial telephone number. All reverts after first one cause the
PL1877A to pause in dialing. Two adjacent pauses or reverts cannot be entered in an auto-dial
telephone number because the **, ##, *#, and #* commands cause certain functions to occur. Also, a
pause or revert cannot be the last digit of an auto-dial telephone number. For a long pause, modify
the autodial pause duration via the IAPS. The PL1877A automatically pauses at a revert character,
so it is not necessary to enter adjacent pauses and reverts.
3. While entering the auto-dial telephone number, pressing ** causes the PL1877A to key the
transmitter and repeat the input digits received so far. This is useful in determining that you did not
make any mistakes while entering the number.
4. #* causes the PL1877A to abandon your input, transmit 3 beeps, and wait for entry of a new auto-dial
location number (followed by *). Use this command if you made a mistake and wish to start over.
## causes the PL1877A to abandon your input and exit auto-dial programming. You can enter ## at
any point in auto-dial.
5. To store a telephone number just entered, press *#. The PL1877A saves your input, returns 3 beeps,
and waits for entry of a new auto-dial location number (followed by *). You can modify another
auto-dial number or exit the auto-dial programming mode (by entering # or ##).
6. To clear an auto-dial location number, enter the auto-dial programming mode as described above.
Enter the number to be cleared (followed by *), then, dial *#. The PL1877A clears the location, returns 3
beeps, and waits for you to enter a new location number.
