3.

Pulse dial timing parameters (08 to 12) are the values for a dial rate of 10 pps. If 20 pps is used, the
machine adjusts these parameters; times for parameters 08 to 11 will be half those for 10 pps, and the

time for parameter 12 will be 3/4 of that for 10 pps.
The cpu may not detect the first ring until parameter 05 + ringing signal wavelength x (1 to 2.5).

N must be between 0 and 15.

2-7. Useful RAM Addresses

Redialling

Basic Transmission

060F - Maximum number of total dialling attempts to the same destination (max. 99)
0610 - Redial interval (unit = 1 minute, max = 255 minutes [FF])

Memory Transmission

If the message was transmitted from memory (either the 128k memory or the SAF memory), up to 7 redial at-

tempts are possible. The redial interval can be set from 1 to 15 minutes and can be different for each redial

interval. The intervals are programmed in hexadecimal code using RAM addresses 064D to 0650.
Example: Number of redials = 3

First redial interval = 5 minutes
Second redial interval = 10 minutes
