FEATURES AND SERVICES
Interdigit Timeouts
Description
This feature allows an originating register to be made available for others if dialing is not
completed within a set time period.
Interdigit timeouts is 24 seconds until the first five digits have been dialed, 10 seconds until
the next five digits have been dialed, and five seconds thereafter.
After connection has been established, voice terminal dial pad button presses are interpreted
as end-to-end signaling requests and touch-tones are placed on the outside line.
Considerations
Interdigit timeouts also apply to data calls.
When a user dials out over a trunk set up for dial pulse rather that Touch-Tone service, the
interdlglt timeout interval is involved.
The caller cannot speak to the called party until the
timeout expires (even though the caller may be able to hear the called party). If the user
presses the # button after dialing the last digit, this timeout ends and the caller may speak
immediately.
Interactions
The following feature interacts with Interdigit Timeouts.
Tie Trunks: For tie trunks only, the talk/signaling path is cut through when answer
supervision is received from the distant end.
Thus, there is no need to dial # or wait
additional seconds for timeout.
