Chapter 1

OUTSIDE CALLS

You can make calls to or receive calls from telephones outside of the STRATA DK system.

You will hear intercom dial tone. CO line number access codes are 7 0 1 ~ 7 3 6. With some systems you

may have to dial either the general group code (9), Least Cost Routing (LCR) code (9), or a Line Group code (8 1 ~ 8 9), instead of a CO line number access code.

You will hear CO line dial tone.

The ringing pattern depends on parameters set in system programming. A distinct outside call ring pattern—0.2 seconds on, 0.4 seconds off, 0.2 seconds on, 3.4 seconds off—is available with Release 2 and higher systems. Some systems may use the intercom ring pattern—one second on, 3 seconds off—for incoming outside calls.

To Make an Outside Call:

1. Lift the handset.

2. Dial a CO line number access code.

3. Dial the desired telephone number.

4. Hang up when the call is completed.

To Receive an Incoming Call:

1. You will hear ringing.

2. Lift the handset and speak.

3. Hang up when the call is completed.

dialed code.

TONE/VOICE FIRST SIGNALING

Your STRATA DK system may be set for Tone Signaling or Voice First Signaling as the standard intercom call signaling method for calls to digital and electronic telephones. The Tone Signal consists of repetitive ring tones, while the Voice First Signal consists of a tone burst followed by the caller's voice. Standard telephones always ring with Tone Signaling, no matter what the system signaling method. When you initiate a call, you can change to the alternate signaling method.

If the signaling mode is set for Voice First Signaling, you will hear a single tone burst. If the signaling mode is set for Tone Signaling, you will hear repetitive ringback tone.

The call will begin to ring at the station, if you changed from Voice First Signaling to Tone Signaling.

The call will stop ringing, and you will hear a tone burst, if you changed from Tone Signaling to Voice First Signaling. You can converse after the tone burst.
