Tone Signaling
You may have noticed that when you dial a number at your console,
you don’t hear any of the tones or pulses normally associated with
telephones. This is because your console ‘communicates’ with the rest
of your telephone system with different types of signals. However, there
are times when you need to send tones in order to complete your call.
Typically, special services such as voicemail require passwords or
other information in the form of tones before allowing access.
To generate tones
Once the connection is made and you are prompted to enter digits:
1. Press Tones.
The Ton es indicator in the Console Status area appears dimmed
when tone signaling is turned off.
2. Dial the code.
To turn off tone signaling
• Press Release
to disconnect your console from the call. Tone signaling stops
automatically.
Or
• Press Tones again to turn off the tones.
