Pulse dial

(1/1)

ben_kenobi:
Am I correct to assume that if you don't have a touch tone line, then it is not possible to dial out using the PSTN line?  I have tried this without success.  The result is a busy signal.

Also, I have tested this several times - when the obi110 is not receiving electric power (such as during a power outage) the connection to the PSTN line does not function (i.e. no dial tone).  If I simply bypass the obi110, I get dial tone.  Is there a setting to permit use of the PSTN line when the power goes out?

ben_kenobi,

Welcome,

Touch tone phones only.

OBihai quietly removed the phone line rely that offered that feature. Safest method is to use a line splitter with another phone in order to have access to PSTN line in case of a power failure.

Line splitter should do it - thanks QBZappy.  And I may have to fork over the couple of dollars per month for touch tone.
