Voice or Tone Signaling
Any Strata DK system can be programmed for tone ringing or voice announce as the standard
method of internal call signaling. With tone ring signaling selected, a station rings when called by
another internal station. The called telephone receives a one-second ring tone every three seconds.
With voice announce signaling selected, a station does not ring when called on its DN/PDN by
another internal station. Instead, a tone burst is heard, followed by the caller's voice over the called
telephone's speaker. Voice announce signaling enables handsfree talkback from the called
telephone on internal and private network Tie line calls.
Regardless of whether tone ringing or voice announce has been programmed for the system, a
caller can always select the alternate method by dialing "1" after the station number.
When PhDNs are called, they always ring with tone ring signaling. Callers can select voice
announce signaling by dialing "1" after the PhDn.
If there is a DSS console in the system, it can be programmed for voice or tone signaling
independent of the choice for the system (DSS console is not used with DK14).
Benefits
