Hi all experts out there:
I am asking this question for my friend:
She just brought the Moxa-c296 faxcard for IBM-pc from overseas and is
having trouble making it work. She suspects that it has something to
do with the settings.
So, does anyone know whether the telephone system in Australia is of:
Tone or pulse dialing type?
10 or 20 pulse per second?
What is the:
On/off ratio of the pulse dial(33/67??)?
Delay time between numbers (600msec??)
Pulse dialing method : i.e. when you press
digit "n", n or n+1 pulse should be sent.
Thanks in advance!!

All phone systems accept Pulse. Some of the more modern ones accept Tone. As I recall some areas of Australia now have DTMF (Touch Tone) available. > 10 or 20 pulse per second? 10 PPS is the std. Some Digital Switches will accept 20 PPS without barfing. > What is the: > On/off ratio of the pulse dial(33/67??)? Make Break Ratio is 2:1 (33/67) > Delay time between numbers (600msec??)

Pulse to digit translation 1 to 1. i.e. number 1 = 1 pulse, number 9 = 9 pulses. number 0 = 10 pulses. Despite telco specs, most COs will respond to pulse rates between 8 and 14 PPS, make break ratios of 1.44:1 to 2:1, and interdigit spacing from 400 to 800 ms. Where you get into trouble with this is when you have a flakey line into a flakey switch. Long loops into a sloppy SXS will cause you more grief than a jealous wife. Have fun.
