Dialling

The dial function key is used to set up a call to a remote party or to send DTMF digits over an already existing connection:

Number

• Remote party number and/or DTMF digits. Starting with V7 hotfix6 a comma (,) can be used to insert a 300ms pause between the digits. This is useful e.g. for destinations accepting DTMF after connect.

Name

• Remote party name (H323 ID).

Prepare

• Do not dial immediately but permit the user to complete the number or the name with further digits or letters. Dialling is started when the handeset is lifted or the speaker key is pressed.

Announcement

• Set up an announcement call, i.e. a call which should be automatically accepted by the the called phone. This checkmark is only effective if Allow Outgoing for Announcement Calls is checked on the Preferences page of the registration. Further Reject Incoming for Announcement Calls must not be checked on the Preferences page of the called phone.

Send in Active Call

• Send the digits configured under ``Number´´ as DTMF digits if there is an existing connection already. If the phone is idle set up a call as usual.

Send as Control Call

• Set up a control call to a special PBX object, for example to control special voice mail features. For a control call no media channel is established.
