• One Touch – Users can set speed dial and custom feature access code sequences for
One Touch buttons.
• Background Music – Users can select the music source (up to 15 sources) that will play on
their telephone’s speaker when they activate the
%*0 button.
• Ring tones –
/LQH and [DN] button ringing tones can be changed to one of four different
tones. These tones apply to direct or transferred incoming calls from outside lines, not
internal calls.
Note Directory number and external line buttons cannot be added or deleted, but their ring tones
can be individually changed.
In addition to the Programming Mode, an advanced programming function enables administrators
to individually turn On/Off the telephone’s beep tone, handset call waiting tone, and microphone
background noise cancellation option. This mode enables LCD contrast adjustment and testing the
DKT3014 large LCD screen.
Voice or Tone Signaling
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
. The signaling method can also be switched from Tone to Voice Signaling by dialing
. Whether a call is initiated with Tone or Voice Signaling, it can always be switched back and
forth by dialing
 or .
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
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.
