Dial Pulse/DTMF Mode Change

If the Tone button has been assigned to a station, that station user can change the outpulsing mode
on the CO/PBX line in use from dial pulse to DTMF with the touch of a feature button.
With some other electronic key systems, DTMF tones are generated only by the Key Service Unit
(KSU) while an external number is being outpulsed. After that, the tone generator is no longer
engaged, and the system simply "passes through" the generated electronic pulses. Since these
electronic pulses are neither rotary nor DTMF, the user is unable to remotely operate any systems
requiring DTMF tones.
The Tone button on Strata DK systems enables the user to tell the system to switch from rotary
outpulse to DTMF tone outpulse when required. It also enables users who are in a location served
by a rotary-only CO to generate DTMF tones for the remote operation of answering machines and
other devices.
Benefits
Enables users to outpulse DTMF tones at any time. This is especially useful for the remote
operation of equipment that requires DTMF tones for operation, such as answering machines,
bank-by-telephone systems, dictation machines, and voice mail systems.
