Description: This is an object for an E & M signaling protocol like wink-start for this ds0. The difference is that the address-control signal is different from wink. The originating VISM, on receiving a seize (AB=11) from the PBX, responds by sending the delay-dial (AB=11) signal back to the PBX. When the originating VISM is ready to collect the digits, it sends a start-dial (AB=00) signal. This operation is symmetric. So the terminating VISM, on seizing a trunk, should receive AB=11 (as an ack that the trunk is operational). Subsequently, when it receives the start signal (AB=00) from the connected PBX, it should outpulse the digits. The rest of the operation is similiar to wink-start.

The allowed range for this object is 100..1000 with units in milliseconds.

In delay-dial operation, the outgoing interface (this interface), after sending a seize signal (AB = 11), waits for the delay-dial signal (AB = 11). The delay-dial signal, apart from acknowledging the seize signal, tells this interface that the connected equipment is not ready for the digits yet. This object specifies the time in milliseconds, after which incoming AB=11 will be interpreted by this interface as the delay-dial signal.
