When you pulse dial, as when you make a call with a rotary dial telephone, your
telephone or modem generates codes in the form of pulses that simulate the opening
and closing of old-fashioned electric relays, or switches. The number of pulses in a code
is the same as the digit they encode; thus, the digit 

1

 is represented by one pulse, the

digit 

2

 by two pulses, etc. In the figure below, the digit 

2

 is pulse dialed, followed by the

digit 

1

. Each pulse consists of an A ms open (break) and a B ms closed (make), where A

is either 60 or 67 ms, and B is either 40 or 33 ms, for a total of 100 ms per cycle, or a rate
of 10 pulses per second. The interdigital pause time is 800 ms. The pulse ratios are
controlled by the &P command.

Digit 2

Digit 1

The tone dialing method combines two frequencies for each of the twelve digits found on
a touch-tone dial pad. This method is referred to as dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF)
dialing.

The four horizontal rows on a touch-tone keypad use four low-frequency tones (697, 770,
852, 941 Hz), while the three vertical columns use three high-frequency tones (1209,
1336, 1477 Hz). The tone frequency tolerance is ± 0.02%.

For example, the digit 4 is dialed by combining two tone frequencies: 770 Hz from the
second row, and 1209 Hz from the first column. In another example, the digit 9 is dialed
with tone frequencies 852 Hz and 1477 Hz.
