I am trying to find out how to change the dialing from pulse to tone. The pulse is too slow for my phone switch, I believe this is causing it to reorder before the call completes.
Go to the Utility menu, select "Administrator Settings" (password required) from there , fax settings, telephone line. In here you should be able to set the dialing method. There should only be 2 options, just pick the other one. (PB is for tone i believe)
