Touch-Tone or Rotary Signaling Feature

Description

Touch-Tone, tip/ring devices, such as single-line telephones or fax machines, are equipped with a dialpad that generates dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) signals when a dial button is pressed. 4400-Series, MLX, TransTalk 9031/9040, Business Cordless 905, ETR, and MLS telephones are equipped with dialpads that generate digitally coded signals when a dial button is pressed. The duration of the signal sent is 50 milliseconds (50 ms) and is not adjustable.

You can program tip/ring ports to use rotary signaling. You can program any tip/ring port on an individual basis (including ports on the 016 ETR module that are programmed for tip/ring operation). The factory setting is that rotary signaling is disabled.

Whenever the system receives a rotary digit on a port, it determines if the port is programmed as rotary-enabled. If the port is rotary-enabled, the system processes the digit. If the port is not rotary-enabled, the digit is rejected. Touch-Tone digits are always accepted by the port, regardless if it is rotary-enabled or not.
