Hello all,
I just have a quick question. When I want to use the second provider on my OBI 100,
I press **2 and than I dial the number I want to call. My question is should I hear dial tone when after I dial **2 ?
Right now I hear nothing until I enter the number I wish to dial and it starts ringing.
Thanks,
John
You don't get a 2nd dial tone.
Dial the prefix and number without pausing.
You can get a 2nd dial tone with a configuration change.
Thank you for your response. What change do I need to do to have a second dial tone?
In Physical Interfaces -> Phone Port -> DigitMap
There is a rule: **2(Msp2)
Change it to: **2{t=di2}(Msp2)
Use OBi Expert to make the change.
From the User Guide:
QuoteInvoke Second Dial Tone in Digit Map
You can tell OBi to start a tone after a certain pattern of digits have been dialed by specifying the element {t=<tone>} within a digit map, where <tone> is a 1 to 3-letter name of the tone to play. The tone will stop when the next digit is entered. For example:
(**1{t=di2}(Msp)|**8{t=od}(Mli))
which tells the device to play Second Dial Tone when **1 is dialed, or play Outside Dial Tone when **8 is dialed. Here is a full list of acceptable (case insensitive) values of <tone>:
bu = Busy Tone
cf = Call Forwarded Dial Tone
cm = Confirmation Tone
co = Conference Tone
cw1 – cw10 = Call Waiting Tone 1-10, respectively
di = Dial Tone
di2 = Second Dial Tone
fb = Fast Busy Tone
ho = Holding Tone
od = Outside Dial Tone
pr = Prompt Tone
rb = Ringback Tone
ro = Reorder Tone (same as fast busy)
si1 – si4 = SIT TONE 1 – 4, respectively
st = Stutter Tone
0 – 9, *, #, a – d = DTMF 0 – 9, *, #, A – D respectively
Thank you for your help. I appreciate it.
