Description: Determines the dialing method of the administrative FXS port. The dialing method refers to the sound that occurs when the user enters each digit of the dialing code.

Options:

dtmf (1): (Dual Tone Multifrequence) uses bursts of frequency pairs to identify the code the user dials. Tones are generated at a level of -7 plus or minus 3 dBm for the lower frequency groups and -5 plus or minus 3 dBm for the higher frequency group. The power level of the higher frequency tone is intentionally increased to compensate for the higher line loss.

pulse (2): uses bursts (10 plus or minus 0.5 pps) of the main tone frequency (2280Hz) to generate the codes the user enters. Tones are generated at a level of -4 to -30 dBm for the 2280Hz frequency. The number of pulses during one second indicates the code the user dials. With the E&M interface, the voice station generates and detects pulses.

Default Value: dtmf (1)

Configuration Changed: administrative
