Voice or Tone Signaling
System Availability: All systems
Each [DN] button can be programmed for either Voice or Tone Signaling as the standard method
of internal incoming call signaling. Tone Signaling rings the telephone when a call comes in and
ensures better privacy. With Tone Signaling, the called telephone receives a one-second ring tone
every three seconds. The pitch and sound of internal tone signaling is always the same. Incoming
CO line ringing is uniquely different, with up to four optional ring tone sounds.
With Voice Signaling, station users will hear a tone burst followed by the caller's voice over their
telephone speaker when called by another station user locally or over the private network. Voice
Signaling allows handsfree talkback from the called telephone on internal and private network Tie
line calls.
After calling a directory number that has Voice Signaling, the caller can switch to Tone Signaling
by dialing
1. The signaling method can also be switched from Tone to Voice Signaling by dialing
2. Whether a call is initiated with Tone or Voice Signaling, it can always be switched back and
forth by dialing
1 or 2.
Note A call to a Voice Signaling [DN] will not Call Forward No Answer unless the signaling is
switched from Voice to Tone Signaling.
Voice Mail Integration
System Availability: All systems
The CTX670 supports Dual-tone Multi-frequency (DTMF) integration, Simplified Message Desk
Interface (SMDI) integration, and Toshiba Proprietary integration.
DTMF Integration
DTMF integration uses DTMF strings to pass and interpret information between the Strata CTX
and a voice mail system. DTMF integration can be used with any compatible voice mail system. It
does not require optional hardware interface.
Simplified Message Desk Interface (SMDI)
SMDI is an industry standard method of integrating a telephone system with voice mail or other
peripheral systems. This interconnection is made via an RS-232 data connection. SMDI requires
the BSIS interface in the Strata CTX. SMDI integration can be used with any compatible voice
mail system.
Toshiba Proprietary Integration
Toshiba proprietary integration provides the highest functionality between the Strata CTX and a
Stratagy voice processing system. Toshiba proprietary integration requires the BSIS interface for
control signaling between Stratagy and Strata CTX. Toshiba proprietary integration is required to
use Stratagy voice processing system’s support the features of Call Record to Voice Mail and Voice
Mail Soft Keys.
Call Record to Voice Mail
While on an active call, a station user can record the conversation and store it in a Stratagy ES
voice mailbox by pressing
Record on the digital telephone. To end the recording, they can press
Record again. Station users can also stop and start recording by pressing PS/RES.
